I thought there were some redeeming qualities (Jane Alexander was a compelling actor, and I still like Tim DeKay from his days in Carnivale), but the characters on the show ranged from mildly likeable to totally grating (the "young" couple). Besides, with the large number of new shows in development/production that look much more interesting, I can see how HBO would decide they don't need this one anymore. I've never seen a show that makes sex look less sexy than this one, as well.
