And while I know that in fiction, you need conflict and to frustrate the MC/protag(s) from achieving their goal, some of the protagonists' failures to "win" are just groan-worthy.

It's like that "TSTL" thing (Too Stupid To Live), when the female protagonist in a mystery novel goes down into the basement, unarmed, when she knows that the serial-killer-bad-guy is loose, alone, in the same house. Yeeaaaahright. When a character does something like that, you start rooting from him/her to DIE. At least, I do. When someone is physically fighting with another character and the bad guy's gun falls out of his/her/their hand, my attitude is pick it up, idiot! Not, run away so that the bad guy can pick the gun up and chase you and try to kill you, again.

But, hey, that's just me. I truly do hope you like it better than we did. :-)

LOL, I'm three episodes in and so far it's merely okay. For some reason I can't really like the two older kids, not sure why. I'll continue and will probably finish it.
