I'm sure this is why a lot of people don't watch it. And The CW does a subpar job of marketing, in my opinion. A lot of times, they market it as a scary and a little cheesy. It is the furthest things from cheesy and isn't all about "monsters" like the commercials make it seem. The storytelling is incredible and the acting and top-notch. But, The CW has stuck with it, and for that I'm thankful. This is its fifth season and has already been picked up for a sixth (maybe even a seventh!) Season one was a little rocky and I actually stopped watching it about halfway through the first season. But, I picked it up again early in season two and I'm so glad I did. In a lot of ways, I find it more intriguing than LOST because the the storytelling always progresses, you know it is progressing and still there are mysteries and answers to be had.
