I hate "thumbs down"-ing things. Literally one of my biggest pet peeves. What started as an amazing show, must binge every episode kind of thing, quickly turned to a "this is so stupid", did not finish, thumbs down situation!!! I'm honestly so mad about it.

The first three episodes, I was totally into it. Sat on the edge of my seat enthralled with the set up, the characters, the cinematography. I was laughing out loud, I was discussing the details with The Boyfriend, I was right into it.

Then it just slowly got aggravating! The constant recaps, the repetiveness, the irrelevant dragging on, the trying to make things funny. I was just wildly unimpressed. You start the series thinking, "Cordelia Cupp is the best detective ever!" and halfway through, you're thinking, "This lady is SO bad at her job!".

After the 7th episode, which I begrudgingly made it through, I saw that the 8th episode was an hour and a half and decided I just could not sit through that much of an episode. At all!!! I was over it completely. So I turned it off and headed straight to Wikipedia to find out the ending. And I can honestly say, I'm so glad I didn't waste anymore time on this show...

It is so rare for me to just DNF things. I normally stick it out no matter what. And I wanted to like this show so much, especially after the brilliance of the first few episodes. But this one really ticked me off!!!
