Because I like Carl Webber's book series, I am watching the show. But some things just don't make sense in the directing and writing. People are criticizing the acting, but I don't think that's the case for the most part. It's the writing and the direction and production quality that are issues. ie; For L C Duncan (prior to him being drugged) to be captured in the mental health clinic and not being able to articulate clearly, by stating his full name and be more composed and savvy with his words is not smart writing.
Also, no one is using text messaging when they can't reach people by calling with their apparent modern smart phones.. SMH...there are some common sense, realistic details of an amateur production nature.
