It's not bad, it's just not terribly interesting to me and my wife.
S1 is 88% on rotten tomatoes, so we're clearly the minority but not totally crazy.
One part Battle Royale, one part Ex Machina, and one part Matrix in a western theme... which isn't particularly interesting to me.
The wife and I discussed character development about a month ago and we agreed Bernard was the only character that was remotely interesting. Maybe the last hour of the season redeems it, but we've had no desire to bother watching it.
edit: We also tried three times to get into Breaking Bad and couldn't... so, clearly my tastes are way different than most people here.

Please elaborate. I am curious what you mean by this. Some of the plot/character twists really threw me (Ex: Bernard).

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
