I think that's the problem with this one -- it started out with some good points, but overall quite weak; while definitely improving in various ways, that may have crippled it altogether. And the ways in which it is improving is in the ideas they're playing with, and in the various types of social commentary and the issues they're addressing (sometimes quite subtly, sometimes rather clumsily, and sometimes with a fair amount of humor).
It has the potential to be a really great series (though I was extremely dubious about the whole idea to begin with, and still remain somewhat so) -- but that very shaky beginning, coupled with the fact that it hasn't really stretched its wings yet with what virtues it has got, has me thinking it's probably not going to last. But I wish they'd at least have taken the chance and pulled out all the stops and gone for the meaty potential on different they've only hinted at so far. Might not have made it a success (though one never knows), but at least it would have been memorable....
