This was a disappointing use of an excellent cast and probably many other talented folks behind the scenes. My primary complaints are with the writing, editing, and/or directing, depending where certain choices were made. First, the overall vibe of the entire series is a frantic mess of cuts between multiple scenes at once and a constant soundtrack of suspenseful music as if every minute was a thrill ride. It was definitely not that. Which leads to point two: every opportunity for powerful dramatic impact was undermined by the style (and probably the writing), which deflated every actor's performance with gratuitous cuts between scenes and an utter lack of character development. No character's actions appear logical, sensible, or sympathetic because it's all rushed, and the opportunities to feel for the characters in their struggles are erased. In short, the whole thing felt like an extended movie trailer lacking the payoff of a complete story with a structure resembling anything like an arc. And that's all summed up in the final shot of the last episode. What high school graphic design intern threw that in?! Ridiculous.
