abostick59 and I wanted to like it, especially because rozk gives it such high marks. And yes, I loved it that they called abortion doctor-killers terrorists.
The burning-girl-spies-with-hot-oil scene was Too Buch for Be (and apparently for a lot of viewers), but I tried to give them a pass.
The way they characterized the older woman spy drove me crazy, but I tried to give them a pass.
Then they ended Season 1 with a completely heartstring-pulling kill-the-kid scene that was completely technically implausible and so maudlin even Steven Spielberg would be ashamed. I was so angry that I Googled to find out what happened, only to find out that all that emotional manipulation was also shuck-and-jive, and plot cheating into the bargain.

At this point, I completely called it quits.
Does it get better?
