I don't get the reviews about the show being slow. I find it really creepy and it has an interesting mysterious element added to it. The scenes which portray the victims fear are terrifying. The story unfolds bit by bit and the acting is good. I think it's a pretty solid show in its genre.

I don't have a clue what's going on, BUT my goodness the acting is superb. I know there is a story in this, I just haven't grasped yet. But, the way it's going, I will!!! I'm terrified and excited at the same time. Intense, dark, and puzzling.

All the dots are connecting and I'm hooked now. I too after the first couple episodes was left frustrated but now Adter watching episodes 3 & 4 I've had so many Ah ha! Moments that I'm absolutely sucked in now. Don't give up I promise if your into forensics and the supernatural you won't be disappointed.

This mystery series follows Kirby (Elizabeth Moss, MAD MEN, THE HANDMAID'S TALE) , a survivor of a violent crime, whose life constantly changes around her in odd ways, as she helps the police track down her attacker before he strikes again.

After reading some reviews, I decided to write one of my own, because I feel like this show is being largely misunderstood. The show is slow to reveal new information, because they set the viewer up with a lot right from the get-go. We already know who the attacker is, he's a mysterious serial killer played by Jamie Bell (ROCKETMAN, SNOWPIERCER). What we do not know is how he's doing it, or what exactly he's doing. There appears to be some time-travel element to his killings, and his victims experience some sci-fi after effects.

I am thoroughly enjoying this show so far. Yes, it is slow burn. But it isn't boring, far from it. It feels like a crime-thriller told in reverse, with the attacker known, but the attacks a mystery. It isn't following the typical formula for crime thrillers, but it's trying something original. Very intriguing so far, don't miss out.

I hardly recognize Amy Brenneman in this show. This is a great thriller and triumph for good reporting. Good journalism stories are rare. The story here unfolds at a methodical pace that adds to the suspense. Elizabeth Moss is as good as ever. Probably second to her Mad Men role.

So I'm 4 episodes in and wish I could just binge watch the rest right now!
