Based on what a few people who had seen it told me, I expected to suffer through this and dismiss it, but it turned out to be an onion story, a story where you peel back one layer to find another layer below it, and as you go through the layers you realize they are both the same and very, very different.
If you casually watch you might well dismiss a quirky aside in one episode, but if you pay attention that quirky moment turns out to be key to what happens two episodes later, and the story changes and inverts, alters, and morphs as it progresses-- and that is part of the story.
I subjected one of the people who had dismissed it to watching again, and noting to her to remember this moment, or that action. A couple of episodes later she slugged my arm and muttered a few things I suspect I did not really want to hear, but then she went back and watched it again, from square one, noting the "things out of place" and connecting another story, hidden below the several stories above it.
She's still angry with me, but part of that is that is because she loved the underneath story at the same time she felt the outside story was bland, but as a third story actually liked the changes and morphing that took place.
You want to find out, you need to watch, and remember the things that seem out of place.
There is a story hidden there.
