I was excited when I saw this show was coming. I'm a big fan of the kinda cheesy, kinda dark murder mystery genre. The idea sounded intriguing, someone is murdered but who is it? The first episode was good. But now 4 episodes in and it's losing its luster. The constant timeline changes can be confusing. And it if I'm honest, the main characters are not very likeable. I can't stand a character that constantly gets in their own way and is completely oblivious how their behavior affects everyone else. "Alice" springs to mind. The other characters have equally annoying traits.

I like how it's filmed, the scenery, the small town feel.

I wanted to love it, but right now mehh.

I enjoy this series for what it is. It's entertaining even if it is a bit over the top, but most television is these days. But they must be running out of ideas because the weekly adventures of Delilah and Aunt Vi are getting annoying. Every series has a side character with a little story. But each week these two involve themselves in some nonsensical plot where they're trying to save the world. Old episodic tv always had the "very special" episode that dealt with some heavy topic of the day, but if you were lucky it was just one per season. Now in every episode we see these two in over their heads. Please stop! Or scale it back.

There are a lot of shows on tv that one learns to take with a grain of salt. It is a drama, it's entertainment, it's over the top so don't expect super clever dialogue and plots. So when I watch this series I keep all of that in mind. Some episodes are better than others. But this entire episode was cringe. This season they are grasping at straws. How long can a series based on a prison fire camp truly last. From Gabriela's hasty engagement- I mean like we can't see where this is headed? In this episode the cracks are already showing. Sharon practically forcing Jake to propose to his girlfriend. And let's not forget probably the worst character - Eve. Her tough girl, say it with your chest and shoulders acting is embarrassing to watch. And how many ways can Bode be injured in one episode? Aye yi yi.
