What a ridiculous major snooze fest full of cliche and bad acting. I feel robbed. Unless you are so bored that you can't see straight, don't bother. TERRIBLE!

This is a crime show?

Scenery can't save this

I'm about three episodes into season 1. There's not much else on, so I might finish it. But that's about the best thing you can say.
This is one of those "rural crime with a spooky undertone" type shows, but while I think they're trying hard to hold the viewers' attention by dropping one weird little moment after another, it's too disjointed, and the lighting is too terrible, leaving the viewer looking for the handles. Or maybe the remote.
There are shades of the (much better) Outer Range. "Can we hang onto the farm?" is a question that can make for great background tension, but there's not enough of farming life or any sign that the characters care about much of anything to make it work. Inexplicable weirdness, alone, isn't enough for six episodes - let alone there are more seasons. Oof!!
The racist undertones and homophobic overtones of the locals could be used to some kind of good effect to make a statement, but I'm not holding my breath. One of the more racist elements, to my mind, is the stereotypical "indigenous with psychic powers" sub-plot. Or maybe it IS the plot. Hard to be sure. (This is also a theme in the much better Dark Winds, which actually HAS a plot.)
Locations seem to be all the rage, at the moment, but the looming mountains and rolling farmland feel more like an actress who was cast for her looks alone, than a meaningful part of the whole.
