I heard many glowing reviews of this series but I just don’t get the hype. I was bored halfway through the first episode and there were way too many characters to keep track of. I finished the first episode and won’t be watching anymore.
shareThe first episode was very boring, generic, and full of clichés. It was all the same crap I had seen a hundred times. It didn't suck me in and I wasn't hooked. So I watched the next episode and had the same reaction. I, too, was very confused about all the different characters and had a tough time telling who was who and couldn't easily differentiate the past from the present. I was about to give up but then I kept watching out of curiosity and am happy to report that it gets a whole lot better. I'm on the seventh episode now and I'm really invested. The characters actually get really fleshed out and the performances, which at first I thought were too dramatic and like a soap opera, actually end up being great and compliment the storyline extremely well. I'm happy to report that my initial impression was wrong and overall I'm glad I continued watching. I recommend you do the same. But then again, I haven't finished the whole season yet, so it could still go down hill from here. I'll reserve my full judgment upon the completion of the remaining episodes.
shareOk I’ll give it another try and watch a few more episodes. Thanks for encouraging me to stick with it.
shareNo problem. I hope you like it.
shareI just watched all 10 episodes and I liked it! Lol. I’m glad I took your advice and didn’t give up on it. The only thing I didn’t like too much was the past/ present flashbacks. I found that confusing and I kept getting Carla Gugino and Elizabeth Reaser mixed up because they look alike lol
shareThis is like a reversed Stranger Things season 2.
One great episode (ep5) stuck in the middle of a terrible show.
