Menacing monsters and a confusing time warp mystery. This should be right up my street. There's enough intrigue to keep you going throughout the first season.
Not quite edge of your seat stuff but it's exciting enough to keep you watching. This is about a group of people mysteriously caught in a forgotten town that they are unable to escape. To make things worse they are plagued by demons that only come at night.
It's a really great idea which is executed pretty well. The problem is that the questions around the situation they find themselves in just aren't confronted. This is frustrating and reminiscent of Lost where stuff just happened and the viewer had to accept it.
Despite that it is very watchable. The monster scenes are exciting and the pace and storytelling are good.
What prevents this from being really good however are the characters. They are just too 2-dimensional and you feel like you've met them before a thousand times. There aren't enough likeable characters to fully invest in this show.
Still though, it's good but not great.
