It's "TV weight". It drags on and on with silly "revelations" and preposterous situations. It's profoundly ordinary and unlikely to make any sense if you think about it at all. I suppose the intent is just to keep you watching week after week with the anticipation that the story will be tied up in 24 episodes - Which should not come as a surprise as THIS IS JUST A TV SHOW. I nearly gave up on it about 10 minutes into episode 1 Season 1 and by the end of that episode I was astonished that THIS was the hot show people had been so impressed by... I've seen the next two episodes and parts of episodes 4-12 (My wife is watching the series - Her review would be, at least, Luke-warm but she does just like to veg in front of the TV).

Watch a bad movie instead. It won't last as long.
