Daniel Jackson

I'm wondering what I'm missing that's making people think this is 5 star TV? There are so many plot holes, the characters make ridiculous unrealistic decisions one after another. The prisoner on death row who seems to have contacts all over the US and UK and can solve crimes with the most minimal of information, like a poor man's Sherlock Holmes. The program paints itself as a really clever top level story, but in reality it's just not that smart and the ridiculous decisions just leave you feeling that the whole thing is unrealistic!
