Interesting characters presented to us by competent actors are completely undermined by editors and directors that are far too impressed with their choices. What they apparently think of as a slick, smart, hip style is completely misplaced and very alienating to the viewer. If they would just get out of the way and let us watch the story unfold without the fast-paced cutting and the "artsy" camera movements, there MIGHT be a reason to keep tuning in to the series. After the first two episodes, though, I am completely turned off by their pretentiousness and have lost all desire to give the show another chance.
