Mayday was something else. The world that surrounds the characters, its diegesis, is absolutely everything. Its a murder mystery at heart, probably, but its not one that the viewer is meant to solve. Most similar stories progressively paint guilt on a guilty party as they progress. Mayday's narrative does mostly different--it paints everyone guilty and then peels it off the innocent a little at a time. The final episode explained more than just "who did it," but also the intentions behind many other scenes from throughout previous episodes, though for the latter, not by way of a flashback--pay attention.
The "who" does not nearly matter so much as the "why." What Mayday was, was not a show about action. It was a show about reactions, specifically the wrong kinds that come from bad information. Watch for that. They were all reactions to things that happened before the show began, also. You must essentially reverse-engineer what you see. Had the show's producers omitted the incriminating flashback from the final episode, there would still have been more than enough explanation--its use is also my only criticism.
If nothing else, you can afford to spend five hours of your TV time with Mayday. Even if you end up not liking it, it was still pretty short.
