So there are monsters, there's in-fighting, there's no way of leaving, there are pasts catching up with people. Basically this is Lost, without the location budget. Matt Dillon's character is unsympathetic, making illogical decisions through a nonsense story. Four episodes in and I'm done. If you're the sheriff trying to protect someone from a lynching, when they're already safe in your locked cell, why drag them out into the dangerous forest at night? And then return to police HQ to hand over the keys to the rifle case to the main antagonist? Now that Juliette Lewis and Terrence Howard have been sacrificed at the alter of "plot twists" the acting - besides Toby Jones, Melissa Leo and Siobhan Fallon, as wooden at best. The leads are woeful. I can't tell if Matt Dillon's furrowed expression is anger, confusion, bemusement, relief.... Boring and disappointing.
