I went into this series expecting a crash and burn, but was happily surprised when it turned out to be a pretty decent viewing experience. I bombed my way through the series in only a few days (Netflix was only showing it streaming for a few days), but I didn’t find myself bored or wishing I could watch over a longer period of time.
