Unfortunately, the stock characters never really evolve or develop multidimensional personalities, and it causes the whole thing to fall flat. Oddly, there could be some interesting backstory it hints at--but then never resolves.

The cast is amazing--sooo sad they didn't do more with them. The cinematography is top notch--that's what kept me watching.

The opening episodes are really gripping (if you can suspend your disbelief for how dumb the ML handles the situation). It's a great set up with so much potential.

The problem is, character-wise it just never goes anywhere. Pity for the situation turns to derision, and no one ever redeems themselves or becomes interesting.
