2/10
I don't know why I'm still watching

Warning: Spoilers
I was ready to give up after the last episode but the ending on a cliffhanger made me give it one more shot. I thought after the idiotic kidnapping and gas station scenes from the first episode, maybe they would recover and create an actual tense scene that made sense.

Nope.

Just none of this makes any sense, from either angle. JH wants his wife back from ten years ago, who knows why, so he has his cronies go after her at her home AGAIN, in the middle of trick or treating. Brilliant idea! Surely there will be no witnesses.

Likewise Dot knows JH is coming after her so what does she do? Jury rigs the whole house with ridiculous traps and just waits for the bad guys to show up. I hope they didn't come while we were out trick or treating! I hope they don't decide to try and kidnap me when I'm getting in my car to go to the grocery store!

The whole thing is just contrived and doesn't make any sense.

I thought the show was brilliant in season one. Season two had it's moments but overall was a let down. Skipped season 3 and 4 but heard good things about season 5. Not good imo.
