I saw a commercial for it the other day and thought "Oh hey a new sci-fi show..." and my excitement lasted all of five seconds until they showed some random smutty thing or other and I realized "Oh, it's going to be one of those kind of BS things. Never mind." I prefer plot to pointless smut, thanks.
