Where to start? Everyone lies to everyone else about everything, which is fine as long as they stay focused on their cases, but when their lies and romantic entanglements interfere with their ability to maintain plot structure, we're all screwed. I'm one of those people who enjoys marathoning where TV shows are concerned. I stay focused for a few days or week and it's over. I move from scene to scene without commercial interruption and see if everything holds together. In Graceland, it's a study in human entropy. Everything is in a state of complete and utter chaos with little resolution without massive bloodshed, both physically and metaphorically. The price the audience pays for restitution is far too steep for the time one spends pushing through it. The series was a great concept, and I am completely convinced that had it not gotten so incredibly off track with the sub-plotting tied to, you guessed it: lies! it would have had a long run. The premise of inter-agency people working under one roof is way out there cool, but not at the expense of melodrama on a grand mal scale. I wish i could rewrite the entire damn thing from the moment it got off track and see what would have happened to all those viewers who decided to look elsewhere.
