The writers truly did encage the audience. Perhaps you are thinking that it is a good thing to be captured by a provocative script and great looking actors. Although these things are true here, the actual cage is that the writer quits and leaves the audience in a cage of "WHAT HAPPENED?" Prematurely cancelled, this show was just completely disappointing.
The first four episodes were intriguing, puzzling and complex, with many story lines that need closure.
I am glad I watched it because it was very good at the start but frustrated too, that it had no ending whatsoever. Relationships left in the middle, crimes unsolved, sinister plotlines with no ending, this was a waste of a great potential.
