It hasn't lived up to the hype, but that's why they call it hype.
It has a reasonably complex and sophisticated plot, so those who had trouble keeping up with the plot of first Mission Impossible, or who got stressed watching 16 Monkeys because its plot wasn't intended to be kept up with, should probably pass on this one.
It moves a bit slow, but that gives you time to ponder what just happened, and it picks up speed slowly from episode to episode. I didn't invest any effort in trying to guess what was going to happen next. With that mindset, a few developments took me by mild surprise and one didn't. I would not describe the plot in general as either imaginative or predictable.
The acting is respectable. I thought Lauren Ambrose was especially compelling as Debbie.
All in all, it's kept me interested. I just watched the 9th episode and am looking forward to the final episode with moderate expectations. Given how many things were left unresolved at the end of the 9th, I'm expecting it will wrap things up too hastily, but perhaps I'll be mildly surprised again.
