Well worth watching. Spy stuff mixed with some scifi. Just that the last 2 minutes of the last episode will have you scratching your head asking WTFO as those minutes seem completely detached from the character development, plot, etc. of all that preceded. One could look at it as a rather crudely grafted tickler for a possible second season although again it begs credulity. The good is that it really doesn't affect the merits of the series and the plot conclusion.

Sorry, I had to stop after 1.5 episodes. The premise was interesting but none of the characters were likable. And I would have killed Chauncey after that first mission. While the premise seems interesting, in the absence of any likable character, the rest of the story becomes who cares. I don’t care if any any of the missions succeed or if the characters survive or not. Seems like scum fighting scum. Amish against Amish.

I was enjoying it, but started to lose interest a couple of episodes in. I still don't understand how they tied those random people together, I must have missed something. How did they determine who the next one to go crazy was?

I was enjoying it, but at the same time haven't watched in a few days and not in a big hurry to finish it

I started watching.
Thought it was another spy coming out of retirement then the Sci-Fi seemed to jump the shark a bit but I am going to be open minded.
It's not that I don't like Sci Fi because I do but the transition has to be plausible.
So continuing on to see. Confused

Its funny because they don't advertise the sci-fi aspect at all so when it happens its jarring.

It might have been better to advertise it as more of a superhero type thing than a straight spy show but then that would give some away.

We didn't even get through the first episode. And my wife typically gives a show 2-3 before deciding to bail.
