Ugh; these people are too "perfect"

They all look and act like models, as with so many other primetime dramas these days. What's wrong with regular, normally-acting characters? Ryan Philippe and his family were a lot more believable. These people all talk with their mouths nearly closed, and have perfectly-coifed hair. Well, Terry O'Quinn's excellent, as usual.

Not sure I'll stick with this one. Last year was SO much better/more believable, IMO.

Now I remember what the main character reminds me of: Rob Lowe, but with dark skin. And Rob Lowe plays this kind of character in ironic comedies, and it still looks more serious than what this show came up with. Especially the blank stare in the close up at the end of scenes, staring through the wall into infinity.
