Just started watching and....

Do the people ever have any common sense? I enjoy the show and all but gosh, how can people be so blind to the fact that something is going on. Eph even has video and wants to release it to the public and the old guy is like, "No Eph, that won't work. They have safeguards in place." WTF?? Like a video of some guy with a 10 foot tongue wouldn't catch everyone's attention. Then Eph's ex. She knows what he does and that he was working on the case. He tells her there is something going around and she doesn't really believe him. At least not enough to leave right there. The guy doesn't have a history of making up these types of stories so why is what he saying so unbelievable? This is the only thing staining the show for me because after episode 5, I just keep yelling, "C'mon! How can you be so dumb. Just die already"

Expect some more of that ;)
The public in the show rarely seem affected by all of it, everything gets downplayed, kinda like Under the Dome.. haha, you know things are bad when you can compare it to UTD.
Global awareness of the situation rarely gets any attention, its like they all live in a very thick bubble, but its not a dome.

It is the only thing that holds this show back from being great.
It looks great and the story is interesting, but you cant deny the mistakes that the characters have to make because of writing mistakes or changes.

I skip reading the bottom line, because it is usually some lame signature.

I just enjoy watching it for some reason, regardless of the idiocy.

I am watching from the first season. Just finished it in fact and onto the second. Zack (Eph's son) looks like he's going to be annoying in the future seasons

Heh, you're not wrong about his son.
There are a lot of plot holes and stuff which just doesn't make any sense at all.
This last season has improved a fair bit, minus the annoying son character.
