Most of the major critics gave it negative reviews. Most of them also have horrible taste and can't tell something's good until everybody else catches on.

I agree the show has plenty of great standalone episodes - I just think they start becoming better in the second season. The really creative and honed standalones remind me of the ones Buffy and The X-Files did so well.

It's pretty bad. I have to skip through it. Great description though!

I think it took the whole first season to really become interesting. To be honest, what got me through was Ben Browder's extremely bizzare acting performance, the general weirdness of the show itself and that it was filmed in Australia. The episodes had fairly typical standalone sci-fi plots. The second season was

I remember this and I think you caught the most interesting storyline of the show. Everything else was monotonous, lifeless rubbish - can't believe I watched it for 3 seasons. I H8 MI LYFE

Sutter's blog and twitter have given me many laughs over the past 4-5 years. I love how transparently narcissistic and overemotional he is. I wonder if this new show will have the same tough guy (banal) dialogue for every character that stains most of Sons and a lot of The Shield.

Luckily this didn't go the way of The Comeback. That is still such an underrated show - quite similar to Enlightened too.

If HBO renew this they are back, baby!

The sound effects are fine. They go well with the pacing of the scenes.

The director Jonathan Krisel worked on Tim and Eric. After seeing this and Portlandia it's clear he has a command over their aesthetic, pacing and tone.

Brett Ratner more like Brett Badner. That's all the effort you'll get from me, fatty.

So funny and underappreciated.

Clark Duke is so funny on Clark and Michael.

I like that they were once a dominant form of TV drama. It opens up the potential for some really interesting stuff when you aren't bound by a procedural structure.

80's primetime soaps are so forgotten when compared to the impact they had on television and the quality of TV at the time. Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing and Falcon Crest had high production values, were serialized and a lot of the time the writers actually strove for great, character-driven, ambiguous and thrilling

Seasons 6 and 7 were the best, bro. Knots Landing is where it's at though. That is a genuinely good nighttime soap - like Twin Peaks.
