The Kiss of Death
First of all, this series was doomed as soon as it showed any kind of popularity, because that meant that Sy Fy started paying attention to it and meddling. There's nothing like a focus group to take all the edge off of something and make it completely bland. To me, the first season was barely passable, then the second season became a joke. Could they mess with it anymore than they have already?!
Secondly, this Series is made in the Toronto Region of Canada. Its like a film and television graveyard for projects they don't think will make it. Crews work so cheap, its like making a show or film without paying the crew. Needless to say, the people who renamed their network 'Sy Fy' almost exclusively make all their series in Toronto.
It has all the hallmarks of the typical Toronto production, poor writing, poor production, over acting, wooden acting, stereotypes, typical characters all fitting neatly into place (the hothead, the starry eyed protagonist, the brainy chick, yada yada), and lets not forget that everyone is at everyone else's throats because that kind of conflict is easy to write and the lazy writers way out of putting in any real effort. Why struggle through writing a script with real people having real feelings when you can just write them mad and accusatory at each other all the time.
If you want to see a half decent series made in the Toronto region, which is very rare to come across, try The Expanse. First season was really well done, not like this pile of trash. Hopefully Sy Fy will keep their hands off of it and let it continue.
Honestly, I can feel my brain cells dying every time I type out 'Sy Fy'. Its so ridiculous.
