I decided to bite and try out the pilot to see what the show was like. 
I have to admit that it was better than I expected, but it was not 
really great by any stretch. I thought the graphics looked very fake 
at times, to the point of really really being bad. On the other hand, 
I can understand that TV shows have to put some limitations on where 
they spend their money. 

Still, I have to agree about that accent. Oh, what a mess. On the other 
hand, it was at least better than her normal accent, which I think 
would have sounded funny. I would have thought something more natural 
could have been had though, given that she's an actress. Is that not 
what actresses are supposed to be good at? Heh. My bad. 

Anyways, I thought that besides the glaringly obvious, the cast was 
pretty weak so far. I thought the characters had a terrible time 
meshing. 

So, yeah, either something needs to change or this show will not 
be worth watching. Unless you are that desparate for something on 
TV, in which case, I can't point to anything obviously better, either.
