In an era of unambitious formula series, I have to admire this one for being something else altogether. But I'm beginning to feel a bit insulted by the almost smarmy quality to the humor and the general self-indulgence of the writing - there's a lot of creative masturbation going on here. Too many cool Deux ex machina appearing from nowhere. Too much intentional obfuscation that doesn't feel as if it's playing fair with the audience. Considering the pedigree of the people involved, I'm hoping for better things from the final four eps.
