Well made and well acted. It's a shame they didn't get a third series. The pilot works really well as a stand alone episode and could have been a TV movie. It is after all a drama not a documentary, I'm amazed at complaints about it being "unrealistic". It's no less realistic that One Tree Hill, The OC, Gilmore Girls or a plethora of other similar drama series. Switched at Birth became increasingly unrealistic, but managed to survive for 7 seasons by ramming "Deaf Culture" down everyone's throats, and rode the diversity ticket.
In fairness I think it could have run for a 3rd series without starting to get silly and desperate for plot lines. But at least they managed to wrap it all up quickly at the end of the last episode.
My only real complaint would be the "Bug" character was just irritating and got in the way of the story.
