I'm afraid I couldn't sit it out...as you point out the plot undoes itself...and the preachy tone is really unbearable. The problem is that some of the more complex affect dynamics (like affect scripting) would have to be introduced to make the show really interesting, but that could compromise the basically deductive premise on which the show is built..i.e. that eye twitches and nostril flares betray falsity in testimonies. It's just not good TV...and I really wanted it to be good!

I know the difference, and was just playing around. For the record, though, they're not "completely unrelated" -- common ownership is not complete unrelation, especially when the owner in question has proven himself eager to play politics oh, lighten up.

But the show is so poorly written and so obvious that I'll click off.
