Admittedly, the show is entertaining, and there are some questionable things to try and wrap your head around.
One aspect of the show though, I think is for me at least solved. The glow behind the Mesa, on the first couple of episodes.
Season 1, episode 2, at the 26 minute mark, you'll notice that there's a very bright, rotating neon sign, as they're climbing the Mesa to track the reflection of the green laser, on the backside of the Mesa.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still fun to watch
