It's amazing what $180m doesn't get you. So far, the first four episodes look like they cost about 750k each, absolutely not 750k per minute! Did headland pay herself half the budget or something?
This episode is Boring. The sets are so cheesy they look like original star trek. The plot ranges from simple to non existent. The dialogue is dull. The performances hollow and weak.
I have to say the main actress is painfully one dimensional, which is especially problematic as she is supposed to be playing two characters, not one wooden version of herself.
The main momentous moment was done so poorly it's either due to abject laziness or total lack of talent all round.
Still, not as offensively bad as episode three but it is almost impossible to reach such a low standard again one would hope...
