I'm three minutes in... Should I watch this show?

So the mother gets abducted because she can't find Megan, runs around screaming her name for half a minute or so and then chases some kind of diversion into a place where they can get her.
So there had to be:
Two guys with the right equipment for the kindnapping itself.
Knowledge of the place so they knew when and how to strike.
Someone with just the same balloons as Megan was wearing.

After the mother's taken, Megan appears to be unharmed on the playing ground.
So all this planning was build on the chance that the mother would panic, wouldn't be able to find Megan and Megan wouldn't be answering just long enough for the bad guys to do their thing.

Why do writers this?
And if I think this is stupid, will I enjoy this show?

Oh yeah, we're in a totally strange enviroment we can not trust. Let's get all in the elevator together.

"Please, please, just food, we not responsible, just food."

Okay.
A good follow up question would be: "The who is responsible? Who brought you here? Where are you from?"

Nothing?

Waking up in a place I don't know and just start with my job as a nightwatch in a hotel: "I'm used to it by now."

"What? Why?"

Nobody?

And what's with that invisible wall?
Soldierboy is now using his hands to figure out where it is, but earlier it got him unconcious after walking back a few meters whe he was trying to save Megan's mom.

This wall is not very consistent.

Oh yeah, somebody screams for help. Let's run outside and leave the gun on the book.

I am a journalist.
I get some super secret intel.
From a guy who isn't supposed to give me any info at all.
When I go outside, I hold it in my hand.

Oh hey! The night manager is back after fleeing from us.

"Hey what are you doing here? Are you willing to talk now? Why are you back?"

Nobody?

They went unconscious earlier because of the subdermal implants which released a sedative when they went too far. With the implants "surgically removed" from everyone they were able to approach the wall to investigate further.

That said, many of your other arguments still hold weight. This show's premise and writing are shoddy at best, not sure why I'm still watching to see what's going on...
