I watched the entire first season of this show over a two day period, based on a friend's recommendation. I must say that the show is well very produced, directed and acted, but suffers from the "American media disease" - lackluster and lazy writing. The various plot holes have been plugged by a never-ending stream of unlikely coincidences and "quick fixes" - a clear abuse of the audience. This could have been a much better show if it were not so outrageous in plot and abusive towards it's characters. Also, the incessant replaying of flashbacks was absolutely Grindingly Boring and unnecessary. I may decide to watch season two, but only 2-3 episodes to see if "Hollywood Writers' Guild syndrome" abuses the audience again.
