#1. It's creepy, yo. Have you seen this show? Soooo creepy. And yes, I know that's the point but... really? We have to get this creepy just to get the creepy point across? Really?
#2. The characters are aroused by their own sick dementedness. So, they have sex. A lot. 'Tis creepy.
#3. The good guys never win. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. And more than likely they will be killed. It's very unsatisfying.
#4. Just when you don't think it could get any creepier, it does. No. Really. It does.
#5. The bad guys masquerade as the good guys. And then kill the good guys when they least suspect it. It's maddening.
#6. The bad guys like how creepy they are. They revel in it. And yet, they seem to think they have the capacity to "love" other people (people they more than likely will end up killing too...) and it's like inviting psychotic killers into your living room every weekend. That's just not normal. In fact, it's downright creepy.
#7. You know that at some point, the good guys are going to become the bad guys, because they can't resist "the following", so you never get around to rooting for anyone. This? Is very unsatisfying as well.
#8. The good guys make stupid mistakes so that the bad guys are bound to succeed. It's one thing to let the bad guys keep winning. It's another thing entirely to base this notion on the premise that stupid, ridiculous mistakes like these would actually be made.
#9. The blood and gore is quite notable, especially for a show airing at 8:00 primetime. Lots of blood. Lots.
#10. Kevin Bacon doesn't dance to any awesome Kenny Loggins tunes. What's up with that?
Your last reason should have been listed first, we all know that's the real reason this show will fail.
