I watched this show just to know what happens finally with the main character, Daniel. Aden Young did a great job and his character is the only one with real interest. His deep voice, external calm showing a broken interior and his thinking are the only interesting things of this show. The problem I have with the main character is his permanent and unrealistic state of hallucination. He is like...stoned or dumb the entire show. The sheriff is other character with a lot of potential and latent badassness, but he is keep undeveloped.
The rest of the characters are in the range between sad and boring to unlikable and unsympathetic. Overall, the show is slow, unrealistically sad and boring to hell. Episode after episode in which nothing happens, just uninteresting people talking very slowly about uninteresting things and being very sad and pathetic.
Sometimes this sadness and slow pace may been taken as deepness and intensity, but are actually nothing. Not real deepness. Just average people being sad in a sad place where nothing happens. I think that the characters are sad as a way out of boredom. The only resource of the writers to maintain the interest in the show are the lack of new information and no advances in the plot. So, we know almost exactly the same about the characters and we are in the same status of the plot after 3 seasons than after 3rd episode. I think that it is because the plot have content for a movie or a miniseries of four episodes, not for a show of four seasons. The only way to make four seasons with this is not letting that things happens during the episodes.
