    Watched the pilot last night (August 23). The production values are good, the acting is good, everything is good, but the story goes nowhere. The pilot begins about five different story threads of mysterious things happening to people, but whatever is happening remains unknown. So people are killed, people are kidnapped, etc. etc. but no clue as to who or what or why this is happening.Watched the pilot last night (August 23).

    So long as the nefarious force or villain(s) or whatever it's going to be shows up, then the viewer is left in limbo feeling very unsatisfied. If you don't tell the viewer what's going on, the viewer doesn't know who to root for and so a large part of the viewer satisfaction equation is missing. This is an essential part of story telling. When it's ignored, the result can be unsatisfactory.

    I tried watching patiently for 4.5 episodes. I had to stop in the middle of the fifth episode. Very badly made. John Simms American accent is in and out. I feel like I wasted my time watching. 4.5 episodes. The only good thing this series has is Millie Brown.

    I'd rather watch paint dry than watch another episode of this convoluted excuse for entertainment.
    John Simms needs to stick to what he knows and leave out the phoney accents.
    My brain hurts!
    One for the trash.

    Though some of it is effective, much of it is not, for all that it strong-arms the viewer with dark atmosphere and upsetting events. (Watch out for that cat.) It is, in its opening hours at least, a moody muddle.

    We know very little about any of the characters, and it's hard to care about them as they go about their doings under an ominous cloud of supernatural dread.

    Credit Morgan, the original source material of the book (there is some deviation, according to Morgan) and BBC America for crafting an instantaneously addictive piece of television.
