The premise is certainly pretty ridiculous, but that has never stopped me from enjoying a fiction. While nothing on the technical side is remarkable, the first episodes were pretty entertaining. Unfortunately I couldn't help but feel like the writers were making up the story as they went along and never had a clear idea where it was going.
At least that would explain why I am suddenly expected to route for the woman who killed thousands of innocents in the first five minutes of the first episode. Or why I am supposed to care about a "love story" where 90 % of the dialogue has been "I can't tell you" or "You don't want to know" so far.
Which is part of a bigger problem: They haven't fleshed out the characters or build a world that is nearly complete enough for the kind of narratives they are going for. It's like watching an orchestra consisting of a panflute and three triangles playing Beethoven's "Ode to joy". You can make out what it's supposed to be, but it seems hollow, disconnected, and since you already have to suspend a lot of disbeliev it just falls apart.
