I have mixed feelings about the show. Some of the critique is warranted, however, I feel it has promise and actually liked it enough to watch the entire season. There are some interesting character and plot choices that may come across as cliche, however, I do hope it gets a 2nd season. I want to see how things shake out. Hopefully, it can and will, get better and correct some of its shortcomings.
Having said that, I give it a tentative "thumbs up" with the hope that a 2nd season will be better.
As an aside, I am a Katee Sackhoff fan! Loved her in BSG and Longmire!
