The plot is quite interesting and keeps you wondering what will happen next. Actors are pretty good, but seeing Claire Danes made me feel like she was still playing Carrie from Homeland. She basically only has one aggressive expression. The dialogues were at times a bit tiring. Especially the annoying scenes involving Zazie Beetz (Mel Harmony). The story itself was not that credible, but still entertaining. Not sure about the creative camera-angles. It works sometimes, but feels somewhat unnecessary. I had a hard time keeping up with all the names and persons introduced, so this is not something you can watch half asleep. Would I recommend this to a friend? As a summertime view, yes. Will it stick with me? Definitely not.

I was really excited about this one, and the first episodes are promising. Good actors, interesting characters. The supernatural elements were a bit over-the-top, but it certainly does not disappoint if you like that kind of stuff. What tired me most was the long monoogues that just made me want to fast forward. There is simply too much talking going on without anything happening. I also found the ending way too exaggerated. Apart from that it's a pretty good series.

I'm quite surprised that this series has a maturity-rating of 13+. It should at least have 15+. Some the scenes are really disturbing and I would say that the use of violence is quite high if this is meant to be a show suitable for young teenagers. People are being shot in the head, blood etc. I would not let anyone below the age of 15 watch this.
