Too bad, because the show had some serious potential imo.
And about hollywood, it dominates the screen tbh. I don't like the dramatised hollywood ambience much, but we can't do much against it. I try to watch as many indies as I can, but the fact remains that most pictures out there that I stumble upon is hollywood crap. I also try to watch a lot of japanese, chinese, french, danish, whatever movies and series as I can get my hands on, but still...
Now where's your series cardboard? I think that'd be interesting enough to watch
