This series falls into the category of never-ending-plot-threads-involving-weird-characters- and-mystery. I confess, I like these types of shows. Granite Flats is a milder version of Twin Peaks and a less polished creation in the image of Lost. The characters are quirky, but several are more single dimensional or less interesting than the characters of either of these other shows.
What I find quite interesting (and something I have no explanation for) is the dialog -- it is mostly done in that same style the Cohen Bros used in True Grit -- reminiscent of a formal and someone stilted style that one could imagine being employed by characters from the 19th century.
I have read reviews that criticize this show because of bad acting or bad editing or bad writing. It is a small budget production. I totally get that this show is not necessarily going to appeal to the broadest audience. But I think many aspects of the show are stylistic choices made by the creators. They want the characters to be like this and talk this way, and they want the scenes and POV's to seem choppy and somewhat disjointed.
Just one man's opinion. I like the show.
