Is This Worth Watching

I watched about 25 minutes and thought it was horrible. Is it worth continuing?

I've watched 59 seconds .... I'm kind of worried I won't make it as far as you did ... but I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Just finished watching the 1st episode .... I was really worried it was just garbage ... but I'll give this show the rest of the season to see what it is.

My current rating for the show would be a 6.50

If you are maternal and love children, you should. If not, probably not. It's a show about finding a way to save humanity since a child has not been born in five years through finding fertile woman and men to procreate.

You have to take into consideration that its a Lifetime show.

Maybe not. I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode and liked it very much, but then the second descended into bathos and ludicrously stupid melodrama, with deliberate errors of fact and idiotic behavior on the part of characters, in order to increase dramatic effect. It's dumbing itself down, and there's no need or reason for it, and that's also not interesting to watch.

I'll give it a third episode - sometimes a drama will start strong and have "sophomore slump" - but after seeing those problems, which are mainly of writing, I'm not that optimistic anymore. Bad writing doesn't usually get better.

So I think I would say that if you didn't like the first episode, don't bother.

I'm gonna set fire to his car to punish him for my mistake.

I would say that the show needs some time.

Hard to say. I rate it marginally entertaining.

But this network is run by morons. They decide to run original programming, but they only show an episode twice, and they had the nerve to change their schedule within a week. My DVR couldn't catch the EPG schedule change, so now I've missed the latest episode. Why screw up your scheduled programming time? Its only going to revert back to the "usual" time. How can you not run the previous episode within a day before the new one? Its a serial, not a random procedural! Why run original programming if you value 10-20 year old sitcoms more? Stupid, stupid, stupid...

I'm on episode 4 now and it's gotten a lot better. There are a lot of conspiracy and twists.
