There are so many great series around now that this one needed to step up its appeal to include surprises,and wow moments but it did not succeed yet. A few reviews went too far in their condemnation though. Tom is not too bad in the lead role so maybe the script let him down. I found it hard to believe the female lead was old enough to be his mother but I checked and found a 20 year difference. The actors mostly lacked an on screen presence but maybe they were not given any material to work with. The father is a possible exception. I have only watched one episode so will give it another chance but it needs to provide the actors with something to work with and gain a wow factor in some way. It needs atmosphere and tension as well as something new and different to gain audience approval.
