Loved by critics, hated by audience - why?

I think it is. Give it a try! Enjoy!

I watched 2 episodes and gave up. I didn't find the characters interesting, nor this "power" interesting, and many things seemed amateurish and low-budget, such as the dialogue, acting, and car chases.

The one good thing I noticed was that the secondary characters all have stories behind them, the way real people do. Hence the brother with agoraphobia, the mother stuck with a near-zombie husband, etc. That made me think the show had potential, but the central story was too blase for me.

I'm about 5 episodes in and I'd say it's just "okay" for an obvious low scale/budget production but the low viewer rating is somewhat dubious for a t.v. series where often even the most mediocre t.v. shows tend to get solid viewer ratings, which to me suggests some sort of bias being interjected into the viewer ratings.
