Episodes 1-5 are great. It seemed to be building to a big reveal that would explain everything. Unfortunately that reveal is pretty dumb. Basically a deus ex machina, a plot filler to explain everything away without actually having to explain anything. Episodes 6-8 ruined what was a promising beginning. I can only assume the book handled it all much better and just didn't translate to television very well. It's a shame. This could of been a great show.
