I wanted to like it more

Warning: Spoilers
I love sci-fi and thrillers. I like mind bending shows and movies. There are so many things to like about this series. But I couldn't help but see it just all going nowhere. The show will forever continue to revolve around, is it or isn't it reality we are watching.

I still feel scarred from Lost and I can't see anyway this series could do anything other than dissapoint in the same way. Main difference being the characters in Lost were excellent and you really cared about them. In this series the characters are largely dispensable and most you really don't care for. The best character was probably the capitan in the beginning but his involvement dies off.

The one thing that made the first series interesting was the way the episodes unfolded and you learn more about the situation. Now that's gone there isn't as much to keep you watching the subsequent series. So many shows make this mistake. Intriguing first series and then when you know what's happening there isn't really any reason to keep watching to the same extent.

I can't imagine the amount of money they poured into this series either.
