There are some frustrating pacing problems. Maybe some attempts at red herrings that weren't fleshed out enough to a point that I'm not sure if it was deliberate misdirection or just inconsistent writing. The reveal didn't feel authentic or even likely within the world.
The side-plot with Ellen didn't fit alongside the main plot of the story and served only to distract, plus causing more pacing problems. It also didn't feel realistic. I can suspend some disbelief for entertainments sake. But that wouldn't have cut it here.
The finale left me feeling they just wasted my time, whole lot of effort for no results, and a weird cliffhanger that didn't make sense. The journey can make some shows worth a lackluster ending, but this show felt like they only set out to drive us to that ending, simply to find it lacking. Shucks.
I enjoyed the acting though, especially Toby Huss and especiallyecially Joshua Jackson.
That said some outstanding writing and solid conclusions in a follow up season could "save," the show, but I would also understand if they didn't get renewed, thus relegating this meandering unfinished show to nothing.
