    So many characters and itsy bits of storyline were crammed into the pilot episode that it was difficult to care about anyone and their subsequent storyline. Sorry, it lost me half way through.

    Even as you may be tempted on occasion to roll (or close) your eyes, it’s hard not to be drawn in at least partway.

    The main thing you've got to remember is, the scripts for this show have to beat the audience over the head with exposition.
