My real rating is a 6.5. I really like the premise of this show, and the acting is truly great, so I have no complaints there. The downside? I think this would have served better as a mini-series that wrapped up in one intense season. I don't want to have to sit through 3+ seasons to watch this story flesh out. As other reviews have said, it seems like the writers aren't sure what direction they want to take the show and which story they want to run with. Is it horror? Is it supernatural? Is it survival? Is it suspense? You get teased with supernatural elements that are quickly dropped & forgotten for several episodes, only to get a tiny tease of it again. The entire 1st season is a slow buildup that doesn't even end at the 10 minute series opening scene. The season ends with no answers as to how they suddenly decline into primal depravity, other than teases of answers. I wanted more out of an ending. All in all, I like the show, but I don't love it. I think the audience deserved more closure for a first season.
