I just finished the first season myself-watched it all today. I like it but I have reservations. I actually think it's kind of overacted at times. The fact that everyone is sooooooo dramatic all the time actually makes it harder for me to take it completely seriously. Like, the core people, sure, they're going through shit. But all the outside people except maybe the brother-in-law are also batshit overinvested in every fucking thing? It's just so much it starts to feel a bit silly. Also, I'm enjoying it a lot, but at this point the payout better be pretty great, because this feels like the mystery aspects of LOST without any of the beautiful scenery or cute down moments. I just feel like they could potentially shit the bed a lot harder than other series because of its tight focus, if that makes sense. I mean, I really like it and I'm invested, but I'm trying not to get too excited in case I get let down. And honestly, I'm done with the main bad guy actress for awhile; she's been in other stuff and she's usually good but was just too much for me in this.
