Series adapters Latimer and Tony Elliott litter enough enticing clues tied to local Indigenous mythology to steadily amp up curiosity, but the pacing is much closer to an indie movie than your typical CW drama, which normally would condense the events of these first two episodes into the first two acts of the pilot. ... The novelty of the show's setting allows the show to maintain interest in a way the pacing doesn't, and there's a vein of dark humor that helps as well.
