I really do want to like this. There are some fun ideas to play with here, but I’m afraid the whole thing is going to be bogged down with that “a million melodramatic subplots” format that writers too often overuse in shows, especially sci/fantasy. I’m pointing at you, Under the Dome, Next, and V (2009).
Things become tedious when the show has 1) given viewers the setup, and 2) primes them for the action—-only to then 3) bog everything down with side drama that brings story advancement to a crawl. Every plan gets a monkey wrench. Every group has at least one loser and/or sly snake. Every forward step is matched by four steps back. Every. Single. Time.
