The story line starts off with 2 neighbors being unfaithful and a series of unfortunate events follow.I just really hate the writing of the show....Way too choppy and drags on. It's just a bunch of stalling.... I wish they would get to the d*** point!!!! (NEW WRITER PLEASE)---I don't know why people keep saying it's unrealistic though; I do think sometimes things that have happened have kind of been pulled from thin air like, How everyone knows d*** well Randall should have been the father of the baby but now they're trying to throw Lucian in the mix when he and Alex have clearly, never had sex....NOW THAT was far fetched, and unrealistic....For the most part it's hard to follow when there's so many other good shells on the roster but Tyler this show would be a hit if you got better Writers.

This show moves too slow! Repetitive banter drags on. A simple scene last ten minutes or more. Come on Tyler! I'm trying to hang with this show but slow developments makes for poor acting! Story lines like domestic abuse and infidelity are great topics but too much time spent on getting to the point or outcome. Many story lines left unanswered.

The actors are great but want makes them seem less credible is the fact that the scenes are too long. If the drama didn't drag on too long, you would get to see them at their best. They are only as good as the script. I am a huge Tyler fan, but the scenes are way too long. The whole season Alex had on the pink dress, which means it was one long day. For example, when the police questioned Brad at the station, the police kept asking or telling Brad he had something to do with the kidnapping and Brad kept saying he did not. This went on forever. I have started to record the show so that I can fast forward through the long scenes.

Being a former police officer i am very upset at the continued way the police are portrayed on this show. It is a slap in the face of hard working honest police in this country. It as also inflaming the notion of fringe groups on how to ambush and shoot officers ( Pete's being gunned down). I feel that is desensitizes and sends out the wrong message to the community. I also feel that after 4+ years of seeing "dirty" cops glorified and seeming to be above the law that that is also a huge disrespect toward all in the police fraternity who everyday put their life on the line to make sure everyone is safe and able to come home to their loved ones. In light of the recent events of extreme rise in police shootings and killings you would think that any portrayal of any police that rogue or unlawful should be handled with equal respect being shown to the 99+% of lawful and good officers out there just doing their duty.
