9 episodes later and the series really hasn't gotten any better. Bad acting (with exceptions), the special effects are ridiculous, the story really makes me cry and I haven't even mentioned the 'Irathients' that really annoy me. The series really disappoints me.
Dubstep: Defiance definitely appeals to sci-fi fans more than the 'regular' audience, that's for sure. The middle of the season wasn't that strong, but the final episodes of the season were just okay. The acting is indeed not great, but bad is an overstatement. You don't like the series, so it can easily be that you weigh too much and magnify things. But I can well imagine that someone can't appreciate this series. It certainly had its flaws, but also its charms.
