User Reviews

So Much Potential

First off the vote 9/10 I gave has not been earned yet but reflects the potential this show has.

Going only by the pilot I found this show engaging, intriguing and yet very subtle. The potential plot directions are very exciting in my opinion. It had an "X-files" feel to it and the Sci-Fi nerd in me hopes that it develops in that way. I'm not necessarily looking for aliens here but the thought did cross my mind. To me the only Television shows that have really pulled off the genre/topic are "The X-files" and any version of "Star Trek". Please don't give me V or any other variation of "Independence Day" (Which was still a great movie).

The acting, cinematography, art direction, and writing were all well crafted. Coming from the network that gave us "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men", I expect good things from this show. In the coming months it will be really exciting to see where the story goes but as I saw in an earlier review it is far too soon to tell.
