Definitely an interesting story that held my attention even though it is slow paced. The characterization built up during that pace is excellent and Josh Brolin leads an excellent cast of actors as they bring his family, friends and foes to life.
I would have liked a few more answers by the end of season 1 regarding the sci-fi aspect of the show. The plot 'twists' that we got at the end seemed fairly apparent for much of the show and weren't really surprises, which left me wanting for something more.
It seems like this show could go one of two ways from here. Either it continues to get more compelling as more things are explained and Royal/Cecilia fight to put their family back together, or it keeps getting weirder without adequate explanations and falls apart. I'm willing to give season 2 a shot to see but it needs to make some progress in short order.
