I've been watching this since the very first show, which I liked it in the beginning pretty well. But as the shows go on I find myself being less interested in the series. I'm really doing my best to give it a shot at entertaining me, hoping future shows will somehow do a better job at making this program more interesting and enjoyable to watch. For me anyway, others may be happy with the shows as they are?

They mean Canada. Because fewer American-dreaming people who go to California speak conversational English. So, like quite a few things, talent has been outsourced. And it shows. Canadians over-emote as 80s actors. Pretty much been going on for decades. Not a bad, "Americanized" version of the truly well-done British show.

Not much to say, lacking quality material from the actors abilities and the shows production and direction. The emotion conveyed through this show is zero to none, quite posssibly the Ted Bundy of televised entertainment. And for all you thick headed people its a metaphore for how the US version killed the story.
