Warning: Spoilers
After having watched all 8 episodes, i've come to the conclusion that.

Nobody agreed what the series was supposed to be, so its a mishmash of attempts at comedy, action, thriller and horror, but end up with not being any of them, but just more teen angst drama.

The sisters (young) was just not likable, and just annoying. Combination of badly written parts and the actors selected.

Same story with the "old" sisters.

To many stupid scenes/things the writers got the actors to do, so no immersion or sympathy for the characters.

Huge fan of Lance Riddick, but in this the writers did not use him very well.

The storyline with all the different Weskers should have started way earlier, and Burt, Albert and the others should have been used for much more comedic effect than it did. This could have replaced most of the teen angst scenes with the sisters.

Finally the performance of the actor playing Evelyn was quite bad, combined with bad writing it was just horrible.

The one interesting thing that could have been more of is the storyline about how the one sister, managed to "take over".

I doubt there will be an second season. And if there is, I hope they replace the writers, get rid of the teen angst stores that everyone seem to want to make these days, and decide on what type of series it's supposed to be, and stick to it.
