OK, I admit pulling the plug after 1-1/2 episodes.
I really like these types of plots. Religious/political mixed with mystery/conspiracy sort of stuff. Although this theme seems to work better in books than it does on the screen. Mostly because so few actually know how to make a movie/TV show like this.
Why did I quit without finishing the 2nd episode when I have hung in there longer with programs that had less potential for improving? Primarily the horrible camera work. I can't keep watching something mediocre hoping the plot will improve while knowing that the irritating camera work will never improve. The whole juvenile shaky cam thing had limited usefulness at best back when it started. Now it's simply annoying, especially when it's 80-90% of the program. Why is an entire scene continuously wobbly when two people are standing still talking? There is nothing realistic about that.
