who else thinks the series should have been longer?
When Jonathan said early on that Elena was obsessed with him and his family, that turned out to be the one thing he actually did NOT lie about - Elena was indeed obsessed and tried every possible way of insinuating herself into his life.
The problem for me was that not enough time on the show was spent on exploring that aspect of their relationship (I mean, the actress was barely in the series at all). You know how they say about art "show, don't tell"? Well, that's precisely it - we were told, not shown.
It was the same thing with the sudden bombshell in ep 5 that Jonathan actually was a true sociopath. That came out of nowhere on the show, and I really wish that part of his character was better developed.
All of this maybe could have been done better if the show was say 10 episodes long, not 6, but I guess given the caliber of some of the names involved that would have been just too expensive to do.
As it was, however, I am not sure why even put out something like this when you don't have the creative freedom to produce a quality product. IMO this isn't something anyone involved can be proud of in today's demanding TV market.
