So far the storyline is okay. It's nothing really special, but still decent. I'm missing a hook, something to draw me into it more. Maybe more of a suspenseful feeling?
Although it's nice ( and good!) to have an established background for the characters. The alternating timeline/time jumps also aren't everyone's cup of tea. I think it makes it harder to connect with the current time line characters and takes away from the suspense.
I actually really like the cast. I've seen some mixed reactions about Alycia Debnam-Carey in this but I actually really liked her. I think she did a great job with what she was given. She plays Emily going down a spiral but trying to hide it/appear normal quite well.
The writing/plot doesn't always do the actors justice. Still a decent watch tho.
UPDATE/EDIT: now being 6 episodes in it's really starting to grow on me! I'm quite excited about the how the next episode is going to play out. So I'm bumping my rating up to an 8.5/10.
