The many complaints about the SJW foolishness have some merit. Sure, the themes can be useful for driving drama, but this seemed like a narrative overload. BUT after the fifth episode it looks as if maybe the writers aren't really going over the top. For instance, at this point it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the bi guy turns out to be the one who committed the rape of his 'best friend.' He's obviously badly cracked, like a borderline psychopath, and I'm not talking about his bi issues.
That's just one possible twist. Look for others.
If that's what the writers are really doing, playing some of the SJW themes against the tropes, then I'd rate it much higher, like maybe even a 7.5, though I still wouldn't rate it sky high. I was looking for a monster horror series with monsters more like the cool/horrifying beasts we saw in the movie (even if a bit less well done) rather than just super nasty bugs and such.
Still, here's hoping that changes, and the monsters get better. They could still turn this thing completely around by the end of the season.
