As for Defiance

I found that I did end up enjoying the pilot by the time it was over - but I forgot to catch episode 2, and feel strangely unbothered.

I think the reliance on having to be familiar with the other media bits is really the "why bother" dealbreaker for me... Still, I'm sure it won't be long after the season finished before there's a rerun.
