.... because only from that perspective will this show make sense. Essentially, for viewers of the present, you have a series (episodic TV) that is well written, well acted, and well presented yet paradoxically one which seems to annoy as many content consumers as it pleases. So what went wrong? The answer is that our present age is painfully transitioning from an era of "authoritarian" entertainment -- where the networks and the cable companies essentially controlled what you could or could not watch -- to an era of content on demand. The transition is awkward because billions of dollars of ad revenues weigh in the balance, and most advertisers are not used to paying attention to what consumers actually want. This show is a textbook illustration. It would have made a PERFECT movie, with none of the cognitive dissonance seen in these reviews. But in our present age the demand for streaming series-based content is so great that the producers took the money .. and ran. Hopefully in the far future these problems are solved?
