I can see what would appeal in this to some people, there are definitely worse things to watch. But I think some of the points you made in your initial post touch on why I won't like it even if I keep watching. I started watching this mainly because I was interested in the sci-fi aspect and how they were going to portray it in a series. I think the more I watched the more I realized it was going to be more an afterthought, and on top of that I didn't really like any of the characters..
Character driven shows where I don't like any of the characters very much usually don't keep me around. For example I really like Sense8 even though the plot can get a bit silly sometimes because I like a good number of the characters. This show just didn't grab me in either aspect.
The show isn't unwatchable, but I think around episode 5 is when I decided I'd rather do quite a few other things. What I mean to say is that whatever was compelling me to continue watching the show fell away in episode 5, and I don't even remember what specifically caused me to turn it off. I think it was just a culmination of bad dialogue and character direction. I think the only character I mildly cared to see more about was the "Bryan Hunt" character. That said I figure I pretty much know where that is going.
It's not a show I would rate as 2 or anything, although I think the rating it has on IMDB of 5.3 isn't far off where I would place it. It's something I'd continue to watch if a friend of mine had it on a hard drive and we were at the cottage, and it was raining outside and we had no internet, and we already played monopoly, and my phone's battery was low and I didn't have my charger with me and wanted the phone to last the whole weekend.
