Reading this post about the things you didn't like about this series made me realize one thing, it's not what you sell but how you sell it.
It has happened to me when I start looking for some series that catches my attention, either by the presentation of the series, the cover and a few other reviews, but by the time I watch it I end up being disappointed.
Your review was enough for me to understand that it's not good, in the trailers they say something else about it for the simple fact of the phrase I said before, misleading advertising that tells you that it's not good.
Oh, it's so sad to spend some time watching a series and in the end it turns out to be a very bad one, as it was this case, so I understand you, sometimes they sell us bad things as good and end up disappointing us, I had a long time without seeing such a bad thing like this :(
