Plenty of things dragged this potentially enjoyable, but ultimately topical and unsophisticated, production down, such as:
- Underdeveloped characters/relationships
- Slow pacing
- Repetitious events; too many coughing scenes; many characters involved in 'terror in the woods', but no reveals by two thirds of the way through the series; alarms and goo in multiple lab scenes, but no conclusive data/outcome at all; animal mutilation images on a loop; and the same with overly dramatic conversations...
- Annoying relationship dramas that don't drive a story
- Some of the comedic scripting works, but not much
- An unsympathetic and generally negative tone (damaged and/or unlikable characters, and that's supposed to be funny)
