This started out kinda cool but I will warn you, it gets boring and stays that way for most of the season. This is a story that could have been handled in two hours. For some reason, they stretched this out with scenes of extremely long car rides and very meaningless dialog. A few of the characters are interesting but it isn't enough. So with all the show choices these days, I would pass on this and find something better. It isn't even scary. Sure, it's mysterious for a while but once the mystery is solved (and it's solved rather early on) I found it pointless and dumb.

Starts very strong but the narrative weakens as the show progresses

Reality is thin ice, but most people skate on it their whole lives and never fall through until the very end. We did fall through, but we helped each other out.
