I don't mind being told the same story for the umpteenth time, as long as there's some originality to the angle, the treatment, the way it's unfolding.
This looks like a bad telenovela to me. The main plot is ok, but drags on needlessly, 3 or 4 episodes would have been more than enough. It's slow, but not like "slow-burn" slow. Just treading water.
As for the sub-plot, it's supposed to be an addition, a parallel to the main one, but really serves no purpose in terms of story-telling. It only dilutes the show and shifts our focus unnecessarily, as if we needed that...
There's no surprise, no suspense whatsoever, which is unfortunate for a thriller, to say the least.
