The thrill and rush of the introduction fades into a slower and wholesomely repetitive narrative about a vigilante doctor's cat-and-mouse adventures with the law, the "underground", and his own ethical obsessions. Ultimately, when protagonists, deuteragonists, tritagonists, as well as antagonists all get tied into the main narrative, it gets twisted it into a knot so complex it takes the last 40 slow and strenuous episodes to "undo" it.

Is the 'moral of the story' really so clever as to warrant those dozens of hours of backstories and flashbacks? I believe it could easily do without, as by the end of the info-bomb most of the arcs will be rather distant in memory; the conclusion not making itself any less forgettable.
Clever, but annoyingly so.
