It's as if the director yelled out 'everyone act as if you are heavily medicated!'.

Each character delivers their lines in a clipped, perfectly paced, monotone manner, it became so unnatural and annoying it distracted me strongly off the plot.

Obviously the director and or writers were trying to set a tone for the movie, but for me it came off as very plastic. Too many attractive people in perfect clothing with too much money as well, everyone's hair is perfect as well, all a bit too odd.

Dakota Johnson in particular carried off the flat emotionless lead well, so well I found her really boring, if you miss this movie, don't worry, your life will not be impacted or lessened.

After sitting through 4 episodes, all I can say is something better happen soon. The start and series premise was interesting but the writers seem lost at that early point, it just hasn't moved on, to the point of boredom & frustration.

The lead character is not likeable, which is done by design as part of plot, but with little plot movement, she's just annoying, I'm starting to side with the aliens, they're more fun.

Due to this stagnation a claustrophobic edge is developing, which again may be deliberate.but it's getting hard to sit through, I actually fell asleep in Ep. 4.

Production values and dialogue is excellent, but something positive needs to occur, something that opens up hope & direction for the lead character and the viewer, if it doesn't it's going to sink.

Too many additions and changes to the basic premise create boredom, each episode is repetitive in the added chases and reasons why people are killing and being killed.

The setting is excellent and the acting is good, but the writers lost control after two or three episodes, it just gets too convoluted and at times, just silly.

One minute the locals are losing the fight and in danger of being beaten, the next all is fine and the situation is under control, over and over every episode, it gets monotonous.
