It's gotta have have good acting and dialogue, which this sometimes does not. The dialogue can be cringe-worthy. I was thinking "Who talks like that?" on some of the scenes. The dead Grandmother can't act, has no feeling in her lines. Maybe because she's really dead?
The 1st episode was so rushed. People were constantly spitting out quick replies almost before the original person finished speaking. And the editing was chopped up at such a fast pace that it was hard to establish the correct atmosphere. As soon as you were taking in a scene - bam! Hard cut to another.
And why do several shows have people introducing themselves by 1st and last name? Nobody does that!
Other than my legitimate gripes, the makeup and special effects are pretty good, and the subject and premise looks promising like they can actually get somewhere with it if they clean up the acting, slow it down to resemble normal conversations, and edit everything at an even pace. People sometimes think for a few seconds before spitting out a reply. Especially in Texas, where they're even slower!
