The first episode was mediocre, but had a very surprising twist at the end. The second episode was not as good, and there was no big twist at the end.

I thought the Pilot was very boring and as for the twist, I wasn't surprised and I just thought, oh, so we are putting all of our eggs in one basket? Kill off a character that's connected to 2 women and a son with very little interaction, or development between most of them. I didn't read the book, but I didn't care or feel anything when Cody was killed. It also revealed another bad guy, so early in the story. Disappointing. The sisters are so unlikable and I don't know how this is going to stretched out for how many episodes(?)
The 2nd episode was lackluster with the girls having no common sense, the "Detectives" do nothing...again boring. If I need help getting to sleep I'll watch the 3rd episode.
I just watched the third episode, and it just keeps getting worse. Obviously this is a "woke" SJW vehicle. The only man is killed in the first episode, and it turns out he was a philanderer. All white males are bad!
Now it's two women (one black, one white of course) playing detective. And that's only the beginning: one of the captives is a tranny with "man equipment". Heavens to diversity! The only thing we need now is an Asian, a gay character, and someone in a wheelchair. I'm sure all of those will be introduced in future episodes.
Meanwhile the two villains are idiotic, cartoonish white males! One of them has Mommy issues, and the other one uses a bow and arrow instead of a gun! All straight white men are idiots and criminals.
OMG this is such trash!

I GOT BORED AND DROPPED OUT MYSELF,BUT I THINK YOURE REACHING ON THE REST...NOT EVERY SHOW REQUIRES HEROIC WHITE MEN...STILL,IT WAS BORING.

Did I say it required "heroic white men"? I'd just like to see a show where the bad guys aren't always straight white men.

well if you wont let any non whites into the good guy roles , you cant go expecting them to do the bad guy roles , after all thats where they've always been.
Indians (the vs the cowboys type)
towellheads
zulus
cannibals
mongol hoards
Where did I say I wouldn't allow non whites into the good guy roles??
π
When you complained that it was two women playing detective, and that that reduced the white guy count to purely bad guys role
Because straight white males are always the bad guys these days.

Maybe he used a bow and arrow so as not to alert others with the sound of gunfire. Just a thought.
Good point.

If you were smart enough to realize you needed to worry about sound you would also be smart enough to know that a crossbow with a scope would be more accurate, have a better range, be easier to conceal, and actually even be cheaper than a high quality bow. So if the weapon was being selected was being picked for any real reason then a bow wouldn't have been used it would have been a crossbow. The choice of a bow just highlights the ignorance of the writers, at this rate why not have every travel around in a chariot or covered wagon instead of a car.

shareI donβt bother criticizing movies and shows that come from a bad idea but they had a great idea and crashed it into the ground. With better writing and direction this could have been a masterpiece. I hope somebody takes this idea and makes something out of it.

But unfortunately they did not, so they produced a giant turd.
