What am I even watching

For some unfathomable reason, I started watching Alphas. I... well, I think I keep watching because there are things I like about the concept and I keep hoping the show will live up to what it could be.

But wow, there's characters who flirt with the dark side, and there's HOLY SHIT TERRIFYING WHY IS THIS PERSON ON THE TEAM AND WHY ISN'T EVERYONE TERRIFIED.( Spoilers. )
