I am entertained and I had no interest in this show to start. I don't particularly like or dislike the genre and turned it on because I have watched EVERYTHING else.
The cast is spectacular.
The plot and the tropes are expected, but no less enjoyable to watch as they play out on the screen.
The monsters are great looking.
I like being a little bit confused about what the hell is happening. The time flip they do here adds texture to the story. And it is short enough that the story holds throughout the 8 episodes without the filler longer shows need.
