It seems to me that this show does not rise above the typical supernatural/action/mystery shows being produced of late. The premise is implausible. The show's mystery is probably unknown even to the writers and creators. It has one or two fine actors, and a somewhat surprise ending, and little else.
I'm also surprised by the budget of this show. If this was an indie film on youtube, we might be more forgiving, but this is a night-time network television show. The average audience member is too sophisticated to believe that we're actually watching a man on his way to his execution, in loose handcuffs, down a darkened hallway with two guards and a priest. It seems too much to ask us to forgive the low budget, the shaky premise, the poor direction and acting and camera-work, and the lack of music soundtrack, for so little payoff.
I suspect this show will be lucky to get a second season, and so I won't invest more time watching something that is unlikely to get an ending.
I've heard it suggested that if a film or TV show has a vague spiritual message, it will score high marks on IMDb, and this seems to be the only reason for this show to garner an 8+.
