It's an average fantasy show

Warning: Spoilers
Many of the characters are unlikable. Is it the script, the actors or just the way it comes off with it being dubbed? It also kind of drops you in the middle of this long family history with another dimension that doesn't really explain how this family is tied to it and why now of all times it is trying to cross worlds.

It has plot holes. The biggest is that it seems one day on Earth is 3 weeks on the alternate plane. After Mark goes to the other plane it looks like another day has passed on Earth but yet it seems only 3 days on the alternate plane.

It also seems that any injuries or birth defects you had on Earth are cured on the alternate plane but then come back when you go back to Earth. And cured again when back on alternate world.

Then they are supposedly being stealthy and waiting for the horned ones and yet are playing music and catching these screaming fish. Things that would give them away at least a half mile. Sometimes they are standing watch out this hatch and other times no one is looking. I guess they needed to do that so the doppleganger could sneak in?

They have these creatures that can either make things change into other things or they make people believe what they see is something different. If they make people see something different (illusion) how do people who show up hours later see the same thing as the other? If they can make things change into others then why didn't it do that for other things to make the plot work better?

And finally...What is the stone angel? It had a part to play for about 5 minutes and never addressed again.

It is an OK series...And since it is first season I will give it some slack but we shall see how it does in season 2. It was a little slow in season 1 but it was doing filler.
