Watched the first episode and wasn't particularly impressed.

From the first scene, it felt like it was trying to lecture to me much more that trying to entertain me. It seemed like events occurred and characters made choices not to forward story or a plot, but just to allow the show to bludgeon me with its message with all the subtlety of a kick in the nuts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm left of centre on social issues, and more or less agree with the message, but I don't watch hour long dramas to be lectured to.
