I think the problem with this show so far is that it's all potential and little payoff. The writing has been very weak compared to previous Whedon outings and Dushku hasn't been on her game. These facts have only been emphasized by the fact that I'm currently re-watching Buffy. It's apparent that Whedon can get good performances out of her, but so far there just hasn't been any meat or spunk to the character. For that matter, basically none of the characters have had a lot of meat or spunk so far.
As I said, there's a lot of potential, and I'm worried that it's not going to get to develop enough for that potential to turn into something before Fox pulls the plug.
