Where the show failed (to me) is it was more or less a softcore porn / bloodbath built around a main story of greed and lust... basically a Daytime Melodram at best w/a shitload of eye candy that isn't always that 'sweet' but rather bitter / boring / overdone or just not done very well (granted—it has its moments).
There seemed to be a really cool backstory along w/creative technology ideas (the aliens? the tree? ...how things got to be the way they were from a science / science-fiction pov) but they didn't touch on that stuff much and instead packed it full of *family issues*.
Scrape all the sci-fi / eye candy out of it and you have 10 episodes of All My Children... bloody episodes w/lots of T&A (and shit acting)... merely a boring Soap Opera in the end.
