I was happy to invest time in this despite many concerns about implausible characters and settings, and for the first few episodes it kept my interest.
But as time went on, the characters and settings just became more and more cartoon-like, and completely implausible situations and settings started to become the norm.
The killer for me came when a room of 'supposed' scientists completely failed to spot a gigantic hole in one of the main scientific tenets (I won't spoil it for you, but just to say it's to do with accelerating masses and completely overlooking that the larger masses in question would also have to be accelerated way beyond our capability). This isn't a debate, it's just plain impossible. And therefore, none of what ensues in the supposed resolution is possible.
And then there's the ridiculous scene in the hospital with the signing of the contract. What on earth (literally!) is the point of this? If the guy reneges on his contact it is too late and therefore has no value.
And then there's the frequent telegraphing of what is going to happen, sometimes multiple episodes ahead.
I'm really annoyed I invested time in this trash.
