I watch a little science fiction, but the superhero genre and most, albeit not all, fantasy shows like LaBrea are definitely NOT my thing. Part of the problem, though (to me at least) is Network TV's really poor handling of these kinds of shows. It is at least possible that the same material in the hands of HBO or other higher-quality producers might be watchable. But, as I said, just the promos scream RIDICULOUS to me.
