The plot is decent. The production value, settings, and effects are great. The settings dark, and appropriate. The acting mostly decent. The suspense is great.
It's almost enough to save this series from the horrible dialog.
I really want to love this show, but the dialogue is just so awful and cringe at times. The emotions expressed are unearned, the tension between the characters is unearned. These people barely know each other, but the dialog is written as though these "teens" have been working together for a couple years. Some of the lines are just bad writing.
The dialogue isn't always awful, but when it hits wrong ( which is often enough) you're finding yourself audibly groaning at these hollow, artificial feeling characters, with their ridiculously baseless motivations. There is no passage of time between episodes to justify this whole "I'll die for you!" type dialogue that starts immediately.
The show desperately need better writing and more authentic character development. If you could couple this concept with the level of character development and dialogue of say Harry Potter, this would be one of the most amazing young adult series.
