I'm debating that myself. Just after watching an episode, I feel like I'm never going to watch another one, ever. The problem with the show is that so far it's been incredibly boring, not just bad.

It has an annoying family whose members behave strangely (because they're badly written) - but it's not really a "good" strange, more like "why are you acting like such a whiny little..." strange. The writers are trying to create drama out of nothing, so the characters just act like they need to be eaten by dinosaurs (none of them are going to be eaten by dinosaurs, that you can take to the bank, because it's not that kind of show). But it's just subtle enough to push your buttons instead of turning into a comedy.

There is funny stuff. Like all the best action moments in ep2 happened out of camera, with the characters returning to the village and basically telling everyone how awesome it all was. All the while the viewers were forced to watch Birdemic with dinosaur birds.

And they can shoot hundreds of rounds of ammunition into some medium-size dinos, and the cretures barely even bleed let alone slow down.

And the leading man has the emotional security of a drunken 13-year-old girl. And so on.
