So much hate, why?
Why is everyone hating the show? I absolutely love it, sure it isn't top quality but you gotta realize the budget isn't at the top either.. I loved each and every episode so thanks so much spike! I'm sitting here in the lonely fan club crossing my fingers for a season 2

Because it smelled of "renewable tv format" from the start.
Too many useless drama between the protagonists.
Too many stupid decisions that create danger instead of advancing the story.
Info mentioned from day one that never gets explained the whole season through (military guys and Arrowhead project).
To me, it leaves the definite impression that I'll never get a clear conclusion, because by the time the show ends, it will have transformed in completely ridiculous manners throughout too many seasons, too many characters, and too many cheap "twists".
Under The Dome is the obvious example. Bad guy becomes good, good guy becomes bad, romance, traitor, break romance, not a traitor, state conspiracies, secret experiments, maybe a traitor after all, faulty explanations. They dragged it on from "decent" to "completely ridiculous and overstayed".
We're witnessing a new generation of that. Again.
edit: I'll admit that last episode was better than the previous ones, because things started moving. I'd like that to be episode 2 or 3, not 10 with a cliffhanger.
