No spoilers here. I'm only in the middle of the season. It certainly has potential but it also contains some of the same (chessy) mistakes that so many new shows make (I can't say what because, you know, 'no spoilers'). I will, however, make this note: let's be thankful that Ian Somerhalder is leading the show (or should I say, carrying it). Either way, you'll get thrills out of it, there are plenty. So, just enjoy (with moderate expectations).
