I found this series interesting initially. However, over a number of episodes, it became quite clear the "formula" was never going to change. A few more episodes proved me correct. The most annoying parts of the "formula" is that almost all parties yell and argue with each other way over the top. I understand that entertainment drama is suppose to be amplified for effect. However, it was and continues to be excessive. The writers need to take note and make the series more intelligent. It has good bones, but poor writing and poor direction. Actors are being asked to do things that will eventually end the series.
