I agree that the protagonists weren't very likeable at all. The whole series sort of stunk out loud, if I'm honest. Way too many heavy-handed political agendas screaming out of most productions these days, though the basic premise of TNM wasn't very gripping/believable either. Among other problems, I didn't buy Hiddleston, Debicki or Colman at all and the fact that Laurie's character was given a convenient lobotomy to help move the plot along didn't help. Oh well. At least there were some lovely shots of the Matterhorn and the Med

Hm, I thought it was very old fashioned except maybe Angela Burr. Hero mainly motivated by romanticism (Pine), that also goes kind of for the villain. Damsel in distress and so on
But to the Op, they also did not really sell Pines motivation for me in the first episode. I get that at heart he is a (capable) white knight whose main goal is to protect all the women, and why not, but they did not really sell it. Maybe they should have gone straightforward with it and did not try to blur it with all that "he has many personalities" stuff..
