We both shook our heads in sad disbelief...persevered through the entire season and won't really bother with the next... Just kept hoping that somehow something would get better. For me, just way too overdone, all violence and big effects for the heck of it. For him, it was 'nothing special without the effects'.
I found some chatter about it, too, that commented on the funny accents in other languages - reading those forums was more entertaining than the actual episodes. Sigh.
