I've actually seen some of the later episodes, and they are more interesting, but the earlier ones were pretty formulaic. They were just wannabe X-Files but with far less interesting characters. The two main characters just do nothing for me. Except for Walter. He's the only really good character.

Granted, there are some inaccuracies that bug me as a scientist (like figuring out an organism's genome in roughly an hour), but that's the same with any show. The only show where it gets so bad that I can't even watch it is CSI.
Yeah, **** CSI. Every time David Caruso from CSI: Miami opens his mouth my blood pressure goes up. Ginger headed son of a bitch.
