    Certain characters are extremely annoying at times (not hard to figure which I'm speaking of).. but it has an interesting plot with some stellar acting as well.. will continue watching to see how it develops.

    After one episode, it's clear that things are off to a good start, though the pattern has been firmly established these days with Top of the Lake and Rectify. Dead body, local population upset, protagonist struggling with a troubled loved one. In this case, Jason Momoa seems like an exceptionally well-cast lead.

    Good acting but the story just isn't believable. I really wanted to like this show but I keep shaking my head saying, "There's no way I/they would do that."

    This is a great show, it gets more exciting with each episode, cant wait for season 3, just wish it wasnt on Sundance but one of the national channels. Hope they dont kill of Marie, she is great, if so I may have to quit watching. It is a FANTASTIC show and hope more people gets to see it.

    It’s the kind of show that sits with you long after it’s over.

    The Red Road, created by Aaron Guzikowski and produced by Sarah Condon, will likely be a little too downbeat and leisurely for some viewers. But based on the first few episodes, it may be a path worth traveling down.

    The exceptionally well-cast The Red Road starts well, but slips in the second episode.
