Some felt that the show was trying to be another West Wing or 24 political drama—ultimately, it failed at both and left the fans heavily disappointed. 

The over-reliance on Sue—the antagonist—to carry the show's emotional value was far too dragged out, and fans were tired of watching her hate the glee club and then help them out. 

Over the seasons, the show became too farfetched and ridiculous for viewers. 

There were too many hooks in the premise, and the show lost direction of what they wanted to focus on. Is it about women's independence or about espionage? This confusion within the plot, lack of strong conflict, and bland characters eventually led to the downfall of the show, which lasted just 14 episodes. 

The show's creative downfall started when the plot drifted away from the initial premise and became too focused on the sitcom aspect. The humor became annoyingly repetitive, the characters were not making the money they needed, and their character development had reached a dead end. 

Every time they made progress with the money, their hard work got undone because of some random conflict. This is where the show lost its viewers, who were hooked on to the initial premise of two broke girls making money to start their business. 

The show's success ran on the ability to make audiences cry accidentally, and that worked in the first season. But later, the heavy reliance on emotional and tragic events became overwhelming for the viewers.

There were six episodes in the roster, but Fox cancelled the show immediately after the second episode. The structure of the premise seemed weak, and maybe that's why people didn't like the second episode. 

The story segues into Mark's alcohol addiction and crumbling marriage, taking away the "lead character" energy that he was supposed to have. The supporting characters had more interesting stories but were never explored. Very soon, the plot lost its momentum. and could not keep up with the suspense created by the pilot.

The first episode establishes billionaire Fleming as the major villain and sets the picture of a major conspiracy in the city. But as the episodes go on, the plot focuses more on the weird villains the Cape takes on rather than the conspiracy unfolding in the back. Ultimately, the show couldn't decide what kind of superhero show it wanted to be, and that led to its downfall after an epic first episode. 

As the show continued, the show focused on adding shock value in the plot, which meant losing all sense of logic. The storyline started including cults, organ harvesting, serial killers, and dark twists that made the plot more confusing than thrilling. 

The characters changed drastically from the pilot (and not for the good), and the stories became quite ridiculous by the end.
