I enjoyed the episodes I've seen

I am enjoying this so far. Don't understand all the negativity at all. Been an avid Sci-fi fan for 50 years and have read just about every premise that is in Science Fiction. This show is nothing particularly new but nor is it a total rip off, more a mashup of many ideas. I don't agree that the acting is bad, or that the story is boring. As for the accents so what? Just go with the story and let the accents fade away. I think many of you out there squeal you want Sci Fi shows but have become so picky that many new shows don't get supported long enough by the viewers to get a fair go. Then you blame the producers etc for cancelling. There are people on the IMBD boards roasting this show and they've watched for 10 minutes. That isn't even time to enjoy a coffee let alone a show. Come on people, You have to watch a show for a 2-3 episodes before really deciding if it is for you. Unless it is offensive to you in some way please be a lot more patient so that we can have shows to watch that will last a while. It is up to us too you know.

I found the first episode a bit boring, but I've enjoyed every episode since then.

I agree the first was slow to grab the viewer but that other episodes got better. Nice to know there are others who give a show a chance to grow.

I too am enjoying this a lot! To be honest, it's the first sci-fi I've seen in a while where you get a genuine 'alien' feel from the Hunters, whatever they are (only on the 2nd ep thus far). It's got a strange dreamy feel to it... kind of like those nightmares where you have 'uncanny valley' characters appearing.

That dreamy quality is exactly what I thought too. Well said!!! The Hunters give me the uncomfortable feeling that I am experiencing something quite alien or very different to us and yet at the same time they have enough stuff in common with us to blend in. Whoever came up with the Hunter characterization and attributes (movement, sounds, expressions etc) has done well.

i was kinda wondering the same with all the bad reviews!! it has gotten better with ech ep. im wondering if the people who dnt like have or is ADHD!

[–] kam57 8 years ago

Maybe it is ADHD!!! You could be right!!! Also could just be that folks just want to be dazzled from the outset too. We do live in an age where many want instant gratification or they lose interest and move on.

Have enjoyed eps 1-4 so far. The first one was ok but the rest have gotten better each time and I look forward to seeing where it goes. @kam57 agreed mate. People should suspend disbelief or whatever and just give it a go. It's a good story so far.
