    Watch it with an open mind

    I came here to see if IMDb could suggest something similar to this. It's been about a year since I watched it and I still remember how good it was. I see other ratings range from 1 to 10, so there's obviously quite a difference of opinion. I think it's unfair that some reviewers gave it a low rating because they expected a straight-forward police procedural and got something else. My only quibble was that the teenagers seemed a little older than the story said, and apart from that I thought it was fabulous and unpredictable, and I was satisfied with the ending. I strongly recommend it. Watch with an open mind, and pay attention.

    Ultimately disappointing

    This is not a police procedural or even a mystery the audience can solve. Its genre bending messes with the logic of the film. A great cast giving great performances. Lots of red herrings but ultimately I was disappointed with the resolve. I give this 5 part series a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Drama Mystery Fantasy}

    I loved it!

    I just across this series on Amazon Prime and I have to say that if you keep in mind it's described as a fantasy, mystery then all these other negative comments are just touch over-thinking! Don't analyze it just enjoy it! Contrary to a lot of the other posts I loved the ending!!

    Interesting but overlong mystery which needed some script work

    As others have noted, this has a Twin Peaks vibe, which is a good thing, but it also has big script problems. After taking four hours to build up the story and cast suspicion on everyone, the final hour wraps things up by introducing at least two major plot points that came rather unfairly out of the blue (the villains's motive and a supernatural bent in the finale). Had the story played fairer with the viewer, I would have liked this more. There are virtually no likable characters, and even the ones who might seem to be moral centers are not, and spending five hours with people you don't really care about is a real test of the viewer's constitution. Decent acting, certainly, and a nice mood is set throughout, but overall not satisfying.

    Very disappointing

    Something that could have been very good deteriorated into a farce.

    It seems that the scriptwriters had no idea where to go and decided to throw in a, totally unnecessary, supernatural element. And, just to aggravate the viewer, even more, they left many, many questions unanswered. At the end, we sat there saying "what the hell just happened?".
