This show is crazy! I am confused. It started off a little slow and I wasn't sure if it was going anywhere. I've got the last episode of season 1 to watch still. It not only is going somewhere... it's going EVERYWHERE! I love it. It doesn't get much better than this. If Season 2 doesn't drop off, I may have to consider changing my 9 to a 10. Frank Lloyd Wright said years ago "The continent is tilted, and everything loose rolls into California". This show makes me think of that quote.
Okay, it's a 10! The low rating reviewers just don't get it. That's fine. Their loss. I saw one that said it's a knockoff of "Kevin..." I watched a few episodes and that was a waste of time. Once you get involved with the Lodge and it's strange inhabitants you become a permanent member. While the season 2 finale started wrapping things up, the end started opening new doors. Literally. As I prepared to watch it I saw that the show has been cancelled. Pshaw! Drat! Pheh! I really really hope they get picked up by another network. They just started to scratch the surface and if they get a chance to do some more digging one can't even imagine what quirkiness they could find. Lamar spent 10 years and only got halfway through his quest. We owe it to everyone to follow more than two.
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. 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 probably 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.
