I will start off by saying that when I gave this show a chance it was really enjoyable, however it takes some patience. Let's start with the story, I won't spoil it as the mystery and that "what the heck is going on?" feeling helps drive the plot and keep you watching. I will say that it a unique idea and once everything is revealed I was already drawn into the characters. My main complain is that while the story is interesting it was not executed properly and there are a lot of moments that believe could have been improved. Also while the mystery keeps you entertained there were some times that I found myself just wishing for answers.
The cast is amazing. With heavy hitters like Titus Welliver, Dean Norris and Michel Gil it's no surprise that the acting was decent. However some of the unknowns really did a great job as well. Marci Miller as the grieving wife of our lead and Jonathan Camp's conspiracy theory believing FBI agent were the two I was most impressed with. The writing has some issues and some of the dialogue is right out of a soap, but the cast did a solid job with what they had.
Quality wise, it's no HBO but it's on par with most of what I've seen on cable. There were a few bit where you could tell the CGI was pushing the budget but nothing that pulled me out completely.
Overall it's a show that's good but not great but worth the watch if you enjoy dramatic mysteries with a bit of tension.
