This series feels like Mike Flannigan is another M. Night Shalyman. It's clunky: The make up. The plot. The acting. This thing is so plodding it makes my 12-year-old collie seem spry. The dialogue is ridiculous. Old people say, "Well, golly!" and "Gosh darn it!". I'm surprised there was a "Good googly moogly" thrown in the mix.
Save yourself 7 hours and just read the plot on Wikipedia. This is terrible.
