TOO MANY PLOT HOLES

My wife and I are watching this show as a filler until some of our other (better) shows come back on. I went into this show with a blank slate. I didn't know what it was about at all. At first, I liked the show but it started going quickly downhill. The two reasons I have trouble watching this show are:

1. I HATE the main characters Frank and Juliana. Frank screws over basically every person he meets and Juliana is such a "moral" person, her decisions pretty much end up doing the same.

2. The HUUUUUUUUGE Plot Holes in the show

One thing I couldn't get past was the whole relationship with Juliana, Frank, and The Resistance. From the first episode where Joe is taking the truck to the neutral zone, the resistance leader describes it as a "You do your job and don't ask questions" type of organization. The way they keep everything going is by making sure that everyone is a role player so IF they are caught and tortured, they can't bring down the whole resistance. This is stated SEVERAL times in the show, yet that rule never applied to Juliana and Frank. I can't count HOW many times they are given an opportunity to do something and they stray away from the plan only to be given ANOTHER opportunity, time and time again. It really gets to the point of being laughable. By the end of the 2nd season, I was BEGGING for one or both of them to die.

I could go on and on but you guys get the point. What plot holes did you guys notice? I'm sure there were many that I may not have picked up on.

I started to read the book and gave up. The plot hole I can't get past or maybe it's not even a hole, is the whole resistance and film. I don't really understand what the films have to do with anything. It's pointless.

That's strange. There are no such films in the book. Odd that is. Sean Spicer, is that you?

One of my favorites is the Resistance telling Juliana she has to make sacrifices. Her sister, who died in the Resistance, doesn't count? And the omniscient John Smith; how ridiculous. He probably knows I stole candy from the Corner Shoppe as a child. He also can dodge bullets. The Resistance is going to need kryptonite to get rid of him.
What a shame, because I love Rufus Sewell.

Maybe you should look up the defenition of Plot Hole.

Because you have yet to cite even one.

Yeah, if you dislike those two characters, I would recommend that you should stop watching ... except you finished both seasons.

I'm curious, what aspects of the show did you like?

Brevity is the soul of wit.
