Me and and girlfriend just watched episodes 1-5 of the first season and we are absolutely and wholly disinterested. We had just finished watching 'From' which we both thought was so exciting with all of the curve balls and twists thrown at the viewer. When we found out the same people made 'Lost' we were both very excited to binge the highly talked about series, but it has been very disappointing thus far. I know the show is about the character development but even the character development seems very slow yet rushed at the same time. I mean day one on the island and there is already a love trope and social hierarchy? Most of the characters seem very predictable and unoriginal and the acting is absolute cheesy, garbage, soap opera one-liners. The plot overall seems like it has a lot of potential to be a good show, but is overshadowed by lazy, 'Vampire Diaries' -esque acting. We were caught off gaurd because there are very few negative reviews of the show floating around on the internet. Are we missing something?
