You think the show is not "compelling TV" and you don't have any confidence that they will get better. Hardly "remotely critical".

That's the genius of the show. In a few years, it'll be revealed that they were all already dead and just wandering purgatory this whole time.
They just have to pile on some BS metaphysics and time travel first.

Cool. Stop watching and wasting your time then.
