    The series began slowly, picked up the pace for an episode or two, but became exceedingly convoluted by the end. The main characters ranged from peculiar to perverse. Often they were made to behave in ways that even remotely intelligent people would not behave. My wife stopped watching after the first episode and she was the smart one.
