Started watching this season (caught up on netflix).

I have a mixed opinion on this one. I find the characters just engaging enough to keep watching. But I also find the plotting to be very tedious. The main "good-guy" cop protagonist is getting tiresome, just like the very flat writing for Jack in certain sections of Lost became tedious. How many times can a guy have a soliloquy on "we can't give up" before we throw up in our mouths?

I think the Asian male/white chick dynamic is mildly interesting.

The show needs more tension, faster plotting. You can't have half a season revolve around looking for the same missing girl.

This is going to be a case where we will see whether the writers can improve or not.
