Initial promise quickly evaporates
Uneven plotting, poor character development and multiple infodumps leading to an unsatisfying ending that really resolves little. Multiple B plots and characters discarded on the way.
Having a lead character as a well intentioned idiot muddle his way through ten episodes of intermittent gore without really driving any action is simply poor writing. Female characters mostly relegated to polite frustration. Anything they achieve is simply overshadowed by an elusive character showing up and dumping information. You may as well be asking your phone what is going on at each stage.
Points given for attention to detail in SFX.
