It is boring. I've never understood why so many people have such a hard on for it. it usually relies on the ... 5 minutes of action... 18 minutes of talk formula for every episode. Super heavy on political intrigue.
The world and concept are actually really good, just the execution..... is badly paced. Basically the show should be way more entertaining than it is.
"Reviewers agreed that the main "Laughing Man" storyline was satisfying, characterizing it variously as "interesting",[59] "complex",[60] and "engaging".[56] Reaction to the series' "Stand Alone" episodes, however, was mixed: some reviewers considered these episodes to be boring and, in some cases, the worst episodes of the series,[56][59] while others contended that they allowed further development of the characters and the futuristic setting.[55][60]"
