Since we've been watching this show and I know some of you do too, how about some thoughts?
I should say outside the cut that my reaction to the show so far has been rather mixed. Actually, it reminds me a
lot of the way I felt about season one of Fringe, where I liked some things a lot, and some things not very much, and my favorite characters tended to be side characters rather than the main ones, who I was having trouble warming up to.
Having said that, we're up to ... I think 1x21 was the last one we watched? (We're getting DVDs from Netflix, so it's sometimes a bit difficult to figure out where we are, as opposed to having nicely numbered episodes from iTunes or whatnot. It was the first episode on the 6th DVD ...)
I also have to say that a lot of the fun that we're getting out of watching the show is mocking the characters' pain. It's kind of like Highlander in that the characters have SO. MUCH. ANGST and it expresses itself in such over-the-top and genre-typical ways that ... well, you feel sorry for them and you also want to laugh at them a lot. At least I do, which possibly makes me a bad person.
( Lots of spoilers, though it's mostly general snark and talking about the characters rather than spoiling major plot developments )
