i liked this show a lot, watched it all in one night, which is something i haven't done since i discovered American Horror Story in December 2011.
that said, there are some aspects of the show that are very amateur. I could especially see influences from Ridley Scott, Alfred Hitchcock, Rod Serling, and of course most prominently, Stephen King, scattered about in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.
they really need to polish up their ideas and come up with more original plots. i hope things improve by Season 2.
