I liked the trailer and the episode didn't disappoint; very atmospheric and the plot scoots right along. Rosario Dawson and Jay Ferguson did not disappoint.

Episode 2 is available on USA's YT channel.

It's nice to watch a show and be surprised by events and character reactions, although I was distracted waiting for the tiger to show up.

I'm surprised there are no more commentaries here -

I thought the show was well done from every point of view and really enjoyed Rosario Dawson in the lead. Really looking forward to watching ep 2.

I found the plot interesting, but thought the show was trying a bit to hard to be quirky, with the animals and some of the vital effects, especially. Not sure yet if I like Dawson in the lead or not.

I love love love Jay Ferguson. I watched this last night, and enjoyed it. Sure it’s ridiculous but I enjoy shows that are somewhat outlandish.

Anyone else think the giraffe was going to follow Allegra into the house? Sure looked like it wanted to!

Liked it enough to keep watching. The slapping/punching thing was stupid and added because they want to be edgy.

I hadn’t even heard of this show but while watching The Sinner a preview came on so I taped a later version on my DVR.

i liked it well enough.   The pilot was messy but pilots often are.   I like the mystery aspect.   A woman returns to the town she grew up in when her police officer sister gets killed by a car bomb.   
 

I gave this a season pass for now because it does look interesting with shady characters and a decent mystery.

This was trying way to hard to be a southwestern Twin Peaks.  I don't mind eccentric, but there was a lot here that was just eccentric for the sake of being eccentric (namely the zoo animals).  I'll watch the second episode, but I'm on the fence about sticking around beyond that.

Was that really a tiger at the motel?  It looked more like a jaguar, or maybe even an ocelot.  Not that it matters anyway; both of them have the right of way in that hallway as far as I'm concerned.
