I don't understand the low reviews. I almost skipped watching it after seeing how many people complained about this series. I'm glad I gave it a chance because I found it entertaining.
It's definitely not a comedy. It has a few moments where you may chuckle, but it's more of a drama mixed with a thriller crossed with a sci-fi.
They did a great job letting the story build upon itself and giving the viewer background clues while still leaving things open to interpretation. I appreciate when a show doesn't over explain things to me and let's me figure it out on my own.
The story kept me engaged, the actors did a great job, and although I doubt there will be a second season, it would be cool if there was. I know I'd watch it.
