This show is really starting to pi$$ me off

OK, I'm only 13 minutes into this show - but the things I'm hating about it are adding up fast.

First of all, the IMDB listing for this show lists it as still in production - so the result is that nobody can rate the show - so I don't have an idea before investing my time in watching it if people think it is an 8 - or a 3.

Second, the listing of actors in the show is terribly incomplete - or at least unclear. Who is the MAIN actress in this? Is it Montgomery? Then why isn't she listed first, or at least in the first few people listed?

And the image that represents this show on the main IMDB page shows the main actress to look DISGUSTINGLY ANOREXIC ! I can tell you right now - if she appears in this show to actually look that thin - I will NOT be watching this show.

And then 5 minutes into the show there is a scene with the WORST ACTING I'VE SEEN IN SEVERAL YEARS. It's the scene where she is talking to several people in the law office, one of them a woman. There was absolutely NO chemistry between the actors - and it looked incredibly unbelievable. They looked terribly unconfortable with each other - almost as if they were performing the scene alone in front of green screen - and had never met each other.

And then the photos of the dead guy laying face down (shown on the ipad). These photos looked terrible. It looked very badly staged - like they just had some guy lay down and take his picture. The guy did NOT look dead. Awful.

And then a minute later, when they are in the bar, there is a dub over of the main character's voice - and it sounds like a completely different person. (We hear her talking when the camera is not on her - and it absolutely sounds like someone else speaking.) I get the impression that they filmed this - and then later, in editing, they realized the writing didn't make sense, and they had to "fix it." Sloppy, sloppy work. Terrible production value.

This show has gotten under my skin - in a bad way - and now all I can seem to do is notice it's flaws. I'm VERY ready to shut it off and invest my time in other things.

Then the deans wife is a TERRIBLE actress (the woman standing at the door being question by the lead actress).

Then the voice of the lead actress doesn't match the movement of her mouth when she is brushing the defendants hair in the bathroom.

My god. I'm temporarily going to watch something else now, on my PVR. I'm starting to feel physically ill. It's either something I ate - or this show.

Bill, your second installment came 6 minutes after the first one, and your third installment came 10 minutes after the second one. Now 13 minutes have gone by without an update. Are you teasing us? How much longer are you going to make us wait? The suspense is killing me!

I don't know when I'm going to start watching it again.

I'm busy watching Sweet November again for about the 4th time.

Ya, next Friday I'll complain about .... hey, wait a minute - I can't complain about the third episode - can I?

Maybe the things I complained about were not so SILLY after all.

Why do you need to know what others think of the show before you draw your own conclusions? Don't be a sheep, think for yourself.

Habit I guess. Why does anybody read movie reviews before they go to see a movie.

I guess I want to have some idea what to expect. And I mostly trust the rating here to help me rule out some really bad movies to not waste my time on.
