The characters are all very predictable. The strong personalities are morally corrupt and the weak continuously fall for the same things over and over and never realize that it didn't work the 100 times before and it won't work again. Talk about learning from experience. The story lines are interesting but they are played out much too long. I found myself fast forwarding through some of the filler only to realize I hadn't missed anything. Why can't the weak sometimes grow a backbone and the ruthless sometimes display some human compassion? Could be much more intriguing with some character changes and some unexpected story outcomes.
