It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I found all the characters annoying and unsympathetic.

Yeah, the lead didn't appeal to me at all from the promos, even. Couldn't imagine a whole show, and I'm not that hard to hook into at least watching.

The lead had some good moments but was mostly annoying. And the supporting cast could give the characters on Mad Men a serious run for their money in the sexism department.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I didn't hate it. It may be a little heavy on the gender battle for me to want to stick with it though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so I liked Prime Suspect, but I think the show could improve with time. The real problem is that NBC's programming is tanking. Really badly. I think PS has a likelihood of being canceled.

Art Crawl!!!
Hmmm.
Yeah, I thought that the pilot was clunky but I could imagine it getting better as the actors grow into their roles and the writers learn to write for those actors. But it seems it may not get that chance.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'd give it one more episode to see if the writing could be less clunky, but I don't hold out a lot of hope.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found everyone pretty unlikable too, and no one in a magnetic way. The segue from the sexist drinking to the guy dying to her asking for his job was just...ugh, people.
