I wanted to like this but the series is a complete miscarriage. I finally stopped watching after 5.5 episodes. That's how hard I tried. An embarrassing attempt at WHAT exactly, I'm not sure. Misha Green's explanations don't jive. If you want gratuitous gore and stereotypes this might be for you. I regret the time I can't get back and the horrific and ridiculous scenes I subjected myself to...to no end.
