After a slow start, the story arc got going, and this turned into a very cool, outside the box murder mystery. Sprinkle in a seemingly psychotic potential killer, multiple relationships in various states of flux, references to a murderous South American crime family/cartel, and it really gets you to the edge of your seat. Sadly, that lead-up never gets cashed in. Said psychotic suspect literally floats away after about episode 5 or 6. None of the relationship questions get resolved, and the crime family is not part of the ongoing story at all. After following the few scant leads, each of which results in a sort of curveball reveal, pushing the story towards its conclusion, you're set up for the finale. Unfortunately the finale does a complete 180 from the first 7 episodes, the psychological thriller/murder mystery we've been following, and inexplicably goes the sci-fi/fantasy route. A lot of the set-up questions are completely neglected in the end. For me it was a huge disappointment, because I really enjoyed it episodes 1-7. The acting is very good, storyline holds your interest, good dialogue, etc. The last episode feels like a great ending....to a different show.
