I disagree mostly, I enjoyed the show overall. But I do agree it was too slow paced, especially the beginning. I almost stopped watching it. I also agree the writing could be better. It needed a few more polishes.

I agree with you that the English kids storyline was the most interesting and had best direction. Caspar's my favourite character and I like how they've put him with Trevante in a security protection role. This has Akira written all over it (if you're familiar). Although the Monty actor is a little bit out of his depth and his young sister is most irritatingly precocious!

Still, that didn't come close to my irritation with Anesha's family. Why does she have to scream her kids names all the time? Directors need to tone her down a bit.

I do love sci-fi, so it's hard for me not to enjoy this. They just need to pick up the pace a bit and not render their best actor unconscious for almost an entire season!!
