I watched the first 3 episodes but don't intend to watch any more. The show is very well done but the main character, John Sugar (played by Farrell, one of my favorite actors) is completely unbelievable.

After watching the first episode I actually looked into the series to see if it was considered to be classified as science fiction or supernatural in terms of the genre. I thought for a minute that the character of Sugar might be some sort of divine angel sent to Earth to save people. Nope. Apparently he's a real human. A completely unbelievable real human.

It's a shame because I had high hopes for the series, what with being a fan of Farrel, but I'm just not able to suspend belief to the level needed to continue watching.

Interesting concept that ultimately fails to deliver. At no point was I spooked or creeped out. It was pretty dull up until the last 20 minutes when things began to get interesting......only to be capped off by an ending that made me say "really?" and shake my head.

While it's a bit of overload on the inspirational stories, in the end it's worth the watch just to see who makes it and who doesn't. I have to say I was more surprised by the teams that DID finish as compared to those who failed.
