My problem with the series (being aware of the name of the UK series, but never having paid attention to it) was that it was "too dramatic." I deeply immerse myself in the shows I watch, and the series was just too stressful for me to enjoy.
Maria Bello's character was the only one I cared about and it was too...too much to see her battle both the case and her colleagues. Every. Single. Week. I wonder how much of that is that, with only 44 minutes to tell a whole story, you had to fit all the conflict in and didn't have time to balance it off.
I DVRed it for the first three or four weeks, but dropped it when I realized that it felt like a chore to press play to start an episode.
I think my comments may say more about my idiosyncrasies than the reasons it didn't get the ratings NBC was hoping for, but it's how I felt about the show, FWIW.
