The first season was fun. Christian Slater's over the top style was entertaining and the other characters were fun. It was just light hearted entertainment. Even Michael Rosenbaum's 'Dutch' wasn't too annoying and even funny at times.
Then like so many good shows the network decided to rework it rather than give it some time to develop a following or advertise it. It had a good group of people and fun adventures.
For some unknown reason, they replaced Odette Annable's Melanie. Why replace a character they had built a good backstory on and had chemistry with Cameron, with Erin Richards. WHY? Nothing against Erin Richards but still WHY???
And who on earth looked at the first season and thought "what this show needs is Megan Mullally? Christian Slater may have just one acting style; but his one liners and attitude fit with the show. He was the cool leader of a bunch of slightly damaged misfits. And instead for season two they focus on Mullally's one acting style which is a whiney voice and cartoonish acting? It made the show nearly unwatchable, If not for the skip button it would have been.
