Weird for the sake or weird either works or it doesn't. For me, it worked really well in LEGION, but it only kind works for me here. Yeah, the idea is kinda sorta original, but not really...It feels like ideas and scenes from a bunch of other shows and movies, and it works here, but it's not the "most original show of all time" as I have seen people gushing.
Also, slow doesn't mean good. Slow can be good for certain reactions, moods, tones, etc, but when it's all kind of slow and then raises more questions than it answers, you get into a LOST situation where by the time they try to tie it with with a bow there's too many arcs and questions to answer. I hope that doesn't happen here.
And honestly, I found some of the twists quite predictable. Maybe it's because I'm a writer and that's the way my brain works, so it's fun to be vindicated when you guess the twist, but also kind of takes the fun out of it.
If you were to take out the filler and the gratuitous shots of people walking down the hall, this could have been a tight 6 episodes...or could have answered more questions in the season.
I will watch season 2 for sure because they did leave it on one f&ck of a cliffhanger.
