Certainly it blends multiple genres, but to me it's the "X-files" genre.

My complaint is not that it doesn't get better it's that it shouldn't have to get better. That's a pacing issue and when a show has enough solid material in it I theorize most pacing issues can be solved with editing and usually by removing extraneous material.

I think the impact that editing can have on how you perceive a story is profound.
