This is not your normal network show and that's a good thing, however it's probably too much and over there head for the typical network viewer that is use to brainless, zero content, non-thought provoking programs. It's very cerebral and I can see this series developing a cult following. It's certainly a pretty risky program to air on public TV at a prime time hour, it has a very graphic nature to it normal reserved for R rated movie theaters.

It's not a good program during multitasking (if you do, you'll hate it). You actually have to really watch it and listen the entire hour with both ears and both eyes which could be it's downfall.

So far (ep. 3) this series is on par with with good European series like Wallander, Luther, Dragon Tattoo Trilogy, Criminal Justice (UK)......etc.

While I'm not into to slice and dice horror content, this series has been a pleasant surprise and I have to applaud NBC for airing it. Now let's see if NBC can hold on to it's integrity and let the writers continue to write it the way it was intended and not bow down to hurried ratings and change/speed it up/dumb it down the orig writing to appease the ones who don't get it. If they do it will fail. It is a bit gruesome and nightmare prone but then again it's needs to be to fit the storyline.

I can understand while some hate it and don't understand it but then again this series was not intended for everyone to like but I think it will be popular in time but we shall see.
