I'm trying really hard to get through season 1. It starts off well but it's becoming so repetitive and boring. It's not the actors' fault but the terrible writing. This show could be great but the writing kills it. It's true that Mac does come off as smug and Jack just has ridiculous dialogue. Also it's really hard to take Mac seriously because he is too young looking for the character. I have rolled my eyes at least five times when they say "for years" or "years ago". When he was twelve? In diapers? We're expected to believe that this guy who barely looks 21 has been to MIT and in the military and working with secret government agencies "for years". He's not a bad actor just too young for the part. I'll keep going to see how the show plays out but I might need a paperclip and piece of tape to make it work.
