I had high hopes for this. I'd read that it's a slow burn and I have no problem with that. But, it was just so boring. There are loads of very very slow backstories going on with unlikeable irritating people. It's so slow. Huge number of unnecessary drawn out scenes right through. There was a brief moment when it got pretty exciting in episode six, but that didn't last long. Another criticism I have is that it's all very dark. I was really straining my eyes to see what was going on for a lot of the time. I could hear bangs and crashes and alien sounds but I could merely see anything! I was determined to see it out and I've just finished season 1, which has been a real slog. I won't be bothering with season two. It would need more action (at least SOME action), fewer irritating kids, and frustratingly slow unnecessary drawn out scenes with slow atmospheric music playing and nothing actually happening for 10 minutes at a time.
