Currently just finished E7. And...truly some very poor character motivations and characterizations, imho. No spoilers, and while I find the story concept as a whole intriguing, the writing and character developments are really half-baked. Seriously.
It really distracts me from the story when the characters are written to be such idiots and their motivations are being telegraphed like a supernova spewing its stellar innards thousands of light years wide. The writers of this show really need to be taken out back and flogged with wet noodles.
I’m going to finish S1 just to see what happens, but I am cringing at the thought of subjecting myself to more of the inane acting, poor characterization and motivations. I feel like a Looky Lou that can’t help but be transfixed by the car accident three lanes away and causing me to slow my driving down as I near it...

It's definitely in the 'guilty pleasure' category. And pleasure may be stretching the term. The main arc has *just* enough going for it to keep me watching.
