Just awful

Like nothing I've ever seen before and I've seen a lot in 49 years. I liked the premise and the initial 2 episodes with Heather Locklear. I struggled to get through episode 3. The rest I've just fast forwarded through on slow and the sad part is without even hearing the dialogue I can tell what's going on and it isn't pretty. I don't usually post negative things, but I'm in awe over this one and not in a good way.

The drawn out dialogue especially between the two gay characters is so painful.
"I'm going to drive her back home".
"No you're not".
"Yes, I am".
"No, you can't go".
"Yes, I'm gong".
"No, you're not going".
"But I have to go".
"You can't go".
"I'm going"..
"Don't go!"..
I was like oh my God what was that?
That scene went on for like 20 minutes I think. I've never seen anything like it. Just awful.

I know, same thing when the sheriff brought Victor to Brody and his dad told him to give Victor the injection.

No, I can't do it
Give him the shot
no I can't do it
Sheriff: Give him the shot!!
No I can't do it
Etc

Hate it but I can't stop watching

I thought the same thing, horrible acting and a scene that was not plausible or even needed. These folks were supposed to be good friends and then they so easily turn on her. Plus the God awful acting. I used to love Tyler Perry movies but this is painful. The editing is horrible too. Dude walks into a bar where a band is playing and they couldn't even be bothered to sync the music with the band playing.

I watched the first episode online yesterday, awful might be too generous for it. There is another terrible show I watched recently named Aftermath but compared to this Aftermath looks like The Sopranos.

I'll be the first to admit how bad it is, but for some reason I'm hooked and still watching. 
