The Disappointing Factor

The visuals of the show are quite poor and there is very little improvement in that aspect, which is quite disappointing and may distract the audience as it may take them out of their viewing experience.

The production team was changed mid series, which definitely affected the quality of the show as a whole and the continuity through the seasons.
