So glad this is not on anymore

This show had so much potential but then it quickly became too family friendly and moral based - which is fine for ABC Family airing at 7pm, but not for 10pm cable network.

I just began watching it few days ago on Amazon and I am on episode 7. The show is pretty horrible. It's not because there are moralizing people or anything. It's because the actors and scripts make the dialogue sound like its a kids show. It's not really more family friendly than other shows. People still die. It's just a horrible show written by bad writers.

Yep, it had potential but the last season was far too random and full of deus ex machinas and retconning.

Family friendly??? You are joking? I wouldn't let my nieces or nephew sit through a show like this 'cause it would give them nightmares and I find their definition of a family friendly show which has violence, blood, guts and people and aliens getting murdered all the time to be very questionable...
