For me, it was the thinness of the threat-- a big snake that conveniently is never seen but only talked about-- and the slowness of the plot. After the rapid-fire of 1897, I just couldn't take going back to the old soap opera pace, where everything is dragged out and discussed over and over and over.
At some point, fairly early in the plot, it hit me... they're never going to show the asthmatic snake, ever, are they? They can't, they don't have the budget. So from then on, I got mad every time they teased us with the horrible creature, trying to make us wonder if THIS will be the day we see it. Sure, suspense is great, but only if there's something behind it, or else it's a cheat, and the audience is betrayed.
I'd like to see Somerset.
