I actually dropped it a few episodes in due to the extreme shaky-cam space battle scenes. Every once in a while I'd reconsider watching it but the things I kept hearing didn't seem compelling, and then after I heard how it ended I was very glad I'd made the choice to stay away.
I guess this leads to another "trope" (I don't know if it's really a trope so much as it is bad planning) where a series is advertised as having a grand story arc or deep mystery that's unfolding as the series progresses. I've been burned by these so often that even though I love that sort of thing I now take it as a signal to avoid the series until it's well and truly finished so I can find out whether the showrunners really did have that or if they were just lying through their teeth to keep viewers engaged.
