I think it's fairly obvious this doesn't go anywhere. The premise is good, reminds me of those amateur stories in "no sleep" subreddit. But the show strongly suggest that the mystery won't surpass the premise. Most of the dialogues are there to break tempo, to deliberately postphone answers and interactions between characters don't go anywhere. You could basically skip all the dialogues and don't miss anything. Moreover, the show fails to even ask interesting questions or introduce original characters. The tension is often broken with pointless and cliché emotional releases, dumb drama or badly written back stories. More and more unrelated mysteries are introduced to try to keep us intrigued weekly but overall it's clear those mysteries will be forgotten by the writers after couple of episodes.

To me, the writers only pitched the first couple of episodes and got a green light. Even they didn't think it through where the stories should lead and most of the side arcs begin and end because of idiot plots.

This is going to be a second Lost trauma for us and at least Lost disappointment wasn't this obvious. I hope they prove me wrong.
