I don't know... 5? Maybe a 6?
My wife bailed during the previous episode. I realized I had to also when I no longer had the will to go on. Half way through this episode (One Last Song) I discovered I spent more time with distractions like making tea and getting in a quick game of KPat than I did actually watching the show. The plots are dull. The characters are clones. The acting is mediocre at best. The only thing going for it is the location. I hardly ever watched it but, this seems to have a "Murder, She Wrote" feel to it. If there were only 3 channels available still, I might watch this as a late night rerun.
Addendum: The way I rate shows... I don't usually review anything less than a 7 because 6 would be a failing grade and I won't waste my time watching it. I'm old; I don't know how much time I've got left. Since I probably turned it off before getting even halfway through, it wouldn't be fair to rate or review it. It might not have been bad, maybe it just didn't interest me.
7 is watchable but I may go a while between episodes since, though somewhat entertaining, there are other shows more interesting or compelling.
8 would be a regular in my lineup.
9 is a must see and bingeable.
10 is just the epitome of superbity and headed for my all-time favorites list.
I'm adding this to my reviews because it seems there are a lot of binary reactions to pretty much everything these days. I am not a like/unlike kind of guy. I see a lot of grays so, if I give something a 10 it doesn't mean the only alternative is a 1.

First, I really thought I would like this show. Then, I really wanted to. I've watched a dozen episodes. It took a while for me to get back to it after taking a break. In the interim I was thinking how they struggle to make an hour out of each episode. Getting back to #12, I still thought the same thing.
While I get what they're doing, I don't feel this show is very compelling. I kind of can't wait for the end of each one. They start out slow and then, about half way through, it becomes so apparent you can write your own ending.
Now I realize the high ratings must be because it's captured the imagination of fans of this particular genre. That's fine but, I'd be more entertained by old reruns of The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Alfred Hitchcock or even Outer Limits (as hokey and low budget as it may have been). I just don't think Black Mirror holds up.

I think it's criminal to not have this final episode available anywhere! This was a good show and it's hard enough to find the first eleven episodes. Many thanks to whomever converted the VHS tapes to AVI and uploaded them to wherever they uploaded them (legally I'm sure... let's don't get the MPAA involved here). It's even worse that the episode never aired! Shame on FOX!!! As if they don't have enough to be ashamed of.
