I've just started getting into this series. I thought I was enjoying it. But the last two eps have made me question whether to keep up with it.
This ep has made me completely dislike every member of the Matthews family, who are supposed to be our entry point into this world. In each of Jade's and Jim's journeys, we have both white adult male newcomers decide they're going to solve the mystery of what's happening completely on their own even though the townspeople have been living here for years. Every person in town might as well have been given their own monologue about some sort of life experience they want to impose on the audience.
This episode is so obnoxiously written. Most of the acting does not help the episode get any better. I hope, since it looks like there will be a second season, that this show gets better from here.

Please get this kid (ethan I think) out of the show. Not only him! But he is far the most ennoying actor. Sure his parents are proud about him. But... I hope he is really not like that in real life.
The way he looks in the camera seems he is squird without being squird. I have really no problem with that . But give him then a role tjat suits him like that. Or train him at least as an actor being not squird. Or is it a kind of early method acting?
Anyway except from this , he is besides from the character Boyd the second best actor of this show. So keep trying. He can't help it also the writers gave him stupid dialogues .

Wow... episode 5 goes wrong. Episodes 1-4 are pretty smartly written. They build the tension and intrigue - and have genuinely scary moments.
Episode 5 rams this into reverse, the episode bores you to death... and you suddenly have a flash of insight when the woke insert arrives. Who were the writers on this... go look. It was a female writer from the atrocious Cowboy Bebop adaptation.
I really hope the rest get back to 1-4 quality and they send the writer of 5 out to write greetings cards or something.

I am enjoying this series, but this episode does not really move things on in any meaningful way. Good that there are a few strands exploring the why/how of the situation, but nothing happens.

- TriviaWhen Jim Matthews states that he figured out how to solve the problem to 'where they are', he says "The answer is twelve". This is a reference to a Charles Schultz quote -from the book 'How to Get Ideas' by Jack Foster- that goes: "I know the answer. The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! What, the answer is twelve? I think I'm in the wrong building"
- GoofsIt makes no sense for the new arrivals not to ask where the villagers got the talismans even after living in the village for several days. At this point, Jim Matthews even writes down several questions about these key items on his big "problem solving" wall diagram and he could simply ask any of the inhabitants. Yet he keeps pondering instead of gathering that key piece of easily available information.
