I read through some of the reviews and I agree that the first few episodes were kind of slow. After watching more of the episodes I came to realize the writers were building a story with a a group that was tossed together and are learning about each other as they met the obstacles tossed at them. Around episode 4 everything starts coming together and the starts to work together more and realizing their strengths and abilities. I've watched the complete series 4 times and it still keeps my attention. I suggest not giving up on this series based on the first few episodes because it does get better as it goes in my opinion. Every character grows and learn more about themselves and the others in the group. I would love to give more details but I would not want to spoil any of the plot twists yet to come. I would suggest watching the 8 episodes and then write a review.
