The positives: Alfred Molina is the heart and soul of the show. He carries himself with grace and calmness. The show is amazingly picturesque, I wish we got to see more of the surrounding area. Finally, you have to commend the use of so
many indigenous people in the show.
The negatives: the characters- the town is full of horrible people, who very quickly become tiring. Some may have a quirky trait but are nothing much more beyond that. And the Blue-Jean family are a different level of annoying, their reactions, responses, approach just comes across as overly melodramatic. The suffer from bad writing and bad direction. But my biggest issue with the show is the mystery/whodunnit aspect, the reveals are so mundane.
So what you're left with is either a murder mystery show, where the mystery is mundane or a drama where the characters outside of the lead are shallow and unlikeable.
