This was a show that, as it unfolded, I found myself more and more interested to find out what happens next. At first, I had suspicions this was going to be a run of mill kidnapping/child abuse, bad people who are trying to cover it up, yada yada plot. And it sort of was but then it kept getting bigger and more complicated and I enjoyed attempting to piece things together. But sadly, it doesn't amount to much in the end.
They built everything into this big closing sequence that really felt visceral and otherworldly only to give a pretty lackluster explanation of a conclusion. I ended up feeling almost cheated. It reminded me of those horror movies that have the stupid twist endings where the villain is somehow still alive after being thrown off a cliff (or whatever: insert horrific death). Matilda is told she will "have all the answers" if she follows through with what they want. The viewer is excited! We get answers. Well... there were pretty much no answers. And I for one, am disappointed. It developed really well until then, but the ending dropped the ball.
