well made does not equal "good"

It LOOKS great. Audio, sets, FX all top notch....

Why watch it? It's sci-fi, I love Sci-Fi as long as it goes somewhere.

I suspect this is like all other "TV" that I have stopped watching because it never seems to go anywhere. There's no one to care about, plot seems phoned in....

I'll give it a few episdoses, and if it doesn't GO anywhere - beyond the totally obvious "these people verses those people while quietly making bland boring obvious statements about religion" - then, I am out.

"LOST" was the death of good stories: "just show them a bunch of crazy things to watch and they'll go to sleep", like we're infants not bright enough to KNOW when a story is not really going anywhere.

Sheep.

What's an example of a movie or show you do like?

I'm making an ad homenim comment because There is not much content in your comment to critique.

I agree that LOST was terrible, even if I only suffered through half of the first episode.

I seem to have gravitated to movies ONLY because they deliver a completed story in a couple hours. Waiting and wading through short parts of a story until it reaches an ungratifying conclusion, fails to entertain me.

I have watched TV for a couple decades because of this. and every time I TRY to, I find that >FOR ME< they are completed ungratifying, and usually don't "end" so I cautiously try new ones, and they feel kinda pointless and way to slow .... compared to movies. Watched the first season of WEST WORLD as a big fan of the original, but the new one didnt work for me. Watched the ending of season two, and just didnt care. Watched 2 episodes of season 3 and they all screamed "TV! This will never end so we can sell more soap"

What I like most is interesting things by Chris Nolan, and most of the hits: star wars IV, die hard, wide variety really.

I guess it is my problem as "shows" are just not for me.

midway through EP 3, I stopped caring, or realized I never did.

When I ask myself why I watched, the answer is: it looked interesting and Sci-Fi, and should have a lot of interesting religious debates.

Well, it has a little sci-fi, almost NO debates about religion non religion - just sprinkled about like a small amount of pepper just for flavor but never a main course.

Production value is 1st class, as expected now days - gone are the tv show shoe string budgets and 80s computer effects. Never the less, it plods just like a SOAP OPERA to me.

This was my final straw with "TV Shows" that never seem to really GO anywhere. Back to movies for me.
