catalyst2I thought I would check this programme out - after all, if a writer I like as much as Jane Espenson not only recommends it but also works on it, I figure it must have something going for it. Apparently not - I tried, I really, really, really tried. I tried so hard my teeth bled - and I do mean that literally. Then again, they may have been bleeding from gritting them together so hard in order to endure through the pain.
I try to look for the positive in every programme I watch. I try to wait at least five episodes before I decide. I lasted three - and the third was a battle of wills, just to stay in my seat. Nothing but nothing appeals here - not the acting, not the scripts, not anything.
Sorry, but this is a not-watchable (actually it is a get-that-fucking-thing-as-far-away-from-me-as-possible) programme for me. I wish it wasn't - I have had unexpected success with a couple of the new programmes this season and was hoping this would be another. Just.Not.
