Eureka!

Anyone else enamored with this show? And if you are, are you also upset that the writing isn't as good as it should be?

The premise of the show is fantastic. The storylines okay. Character development is nominal and the dialogue is pretty cheesy. You can tell what the creators wanted to do with the show. They wanted to give us the X-Files and Twin Peaks meets Desperate Housewives. The problem is that the writing is on par with Men in Black. Instead of giving us a fresh imagining of this cool idea, we get rehashed cheese packaged in this neat setting.

I'm still addicted, and I hope the writing gets better (it is only the third episode). If you haven't seen it, click on the link above to get to the Sci Fi Channel Eureka page. They have the two-hour premiere episode on web cast.
