Note to viewers: This isn't a miniseries. There is only one season, made in 2010, ended on a cliffhanger and no season 2. While it's an interesting watch with some odd characters, it never develops anything beyond "WHAT?"

Another case of network executives getting paid big bucks for having no clue what they're doing when it comes to airing shows on consistent days and times. For that they deserve no more than one star. I'll admit the 8 episodes they produced were unusual, quirky and held my interest... all of which is negated by a story with no conclusion.

Sometimes I wish there was a law requiring Network TV to finish a series once they begin it. Maybe that would impel them to better consider broadcasting times, consistency, and actually finish a project they start instead of just leaving millions of viewers hanging with no story closure. Imagine going to a theater and the management just decides to shut down the movie halfway through... with no legal responsibility to deliver what they promised. That's this series in a nutshell.
