Objective Rating: 5/10 (points off for story, dialog, cinematography, special effects/design and music) c. 2.1/4 (Okay).

The handful of great episodes could get a 9 or 10 out of 10. Other episodes are barely watchable. It's a shame that a show that went on to be great in later seasons started out so very mediocre.
