The first episode of every series is supposed to be the "hook". I just watched the first episode and kept watching it to the end, my hopes for something meaningful, terrifying or mind-blowing to happen dwindling as the minutes passed.

Really, I cannot believe the positive reviews here. I read one review that said just skip the first episode. Unfortunately, I just wasted one whole hour watching that first episode. Too disappointed to give the rest of the series a try.

The first episode started as something interesting and ended in exactly nothing, or worse, if anything.

Was this an attempt to copy another similar successful series? If do, they may have missed what made that successful.
