I watched the first episode with mixed feelings, but decided to give it a shot. About 15 minutes into episode 2, I said 'nope'. The dialog is very bad, and the acting, other than Arquette, is not inspiring. I felt that Patricia Arquette was working frenetically to carry this bomb, but couldn't quite pull it off.
The plotting is unbelievably contrived. I mean, Arquette appears as a dance hall girl swinging from a chandelier in a tacky "Old West" show. Really?? Not remotely believable.
Arquette's character seems to have knowledge about all kinds of dodgy stuff that she has no reason to have. In the 2nd episode, she starts spouting out detailed info about safe-cracking. Not convincing.
I think the people who are giving this high ratings are enthralled with Patricia Arquette. I get that, but one person can't carry a TV series like this.
