Serious miscasting
Please don't get me wrong, I love LYX, but in my opinion this was a terrible role for him. He's a beautiful ethereal dream of a man who despite his best acting efforts could not convince me that he was physically capable of the rescue feats his character performed. As the competent lawyer though? Yes please I'll sign up for more of that.
Unfortunately, very few of the supporting characters were likeable or believable. All the regular tropes showed up - the envious/scheming alternate love interests, the emotionally damaged *everyone*, the sweet innocent female relative who has to be protected, the nasty potential mother-in-law... you get the picture.
In the end I skipped through a lot of the last 12 or so episodes just to see how the resolution was achieved. It was ok. But probably not worth the effort to get there. I ended up feeling rather early that if these people just talked to each other we could have ended the drama much earlier. Possibly episode 2.
