I just appreciate somebody trying to do something well.
Most of this show, I loved. The premise, the story, the pacing, the tension were well done. The special effects were awesome, frightening. Props and sets, "neo-Lovecraftian." Even the lighting is noticeably great. This is a completely unique and well-produced series.
Some of the negative reviews are accurate. Characters do sometimes behave bizarrely for their circumstances: a pair of air-traffic controllers go running out on the tarmac to inspect a mysterious passenger jet and drop lines about how "a plane is like a house with wings!" as if they've never seen one before. A painfully two-dimensional hired con acts inappropriately aggressive toward a money-paying client, etc. Some of this behavior left me scratching my head.
In the end, however, these shortcomings did not ruin the show for me. I still enjoyed it immensely. It is well done, terrifying.
A worthy addition to Sunday's line up with Game of Thrones between season, Mad Men down the line and True Blood coming to an end.
