Well, this show is all over the place now. 6 episodes in and they still haven't said much of anything about what they did and why Allie is wanted. I don't mind a little suspense and mystery but come on! Westworld and so many other shows, makes it feel cheap and they know they're just stringing you along into one episode after the next adding a little intrigue to keep you watching. I know covid likely cut production early, but I do wish this had twice as many episodes. Then I wouldn't feel as rushed to get to the bottom of things. Hopefully all is revealed in the finale next week and we get a semi-satisfying ending where the family gets to Casa Roja. 

The kids are also starting to grate on me (the girl in particular in this episode, she obviously doesn't want to be there now and Allie apparently didn't teach her to not trust government agents enough, by the end of the episode I was hoping she'd just be left behind). 

I do wonder if Allie would have actually been willing to sacrifice his wife, if it meant safe passage.

Both the detectives that were after them have zero chemistry or appeal and nothing to make me want to watch them or be interested in them.  Their part in it gave this series an awful Lifetime/SyFy touch.
