This gets a two because the first two episodes were good. After that, it became a whole lot of nothing. Which is more than frustrating because you just keep waiting for the story to come together but it never does. Production value also fell as the episodes progressed. You can actually feel the actors, the crew and the post-production team lose interest as the series moved tiresomely to the next episode. This being a HBO production it never actually looked shabby, but the last episode felt like it was something of an after thought.
How many of us can remain 'sane' when confronted with proof of otherworldly beings? Do you really just go back to that suburban life of tending the garden and backyard barbecues? This is my biggest peeve with this miniseries. If there is any evidence of a supernatural occurrence, would that not be far more important than pursuing whatever crime, however heinous it maybe? And having discovered this mind blowing, earth shattering truth, why would disparate individuals work as a group to cover it up?
There could have been a story here but the people at HBO have lost their mojo. Success dulls the edge and it seems that they can no longer cut it.
