Tl;dr (or watch). First 7 episodes are interesting, but complete lack of any kind of answers at end makes it not worth it.
Like too many other shows, this had potential that was squandered by haphazard scheduling, thankfully one thing that streaming has helped eliminate as a contributing cause of a show's premature demise.
Many of the characters are small-town stereotypes... jock cop, meth-head dad who beats his beautiful daughter, rich family that runs roughshod over the town with impunity, stupid red-necks (one is even portrayed as cognitively delayed), nosy old ladies, etc.
It was interesting enough, until the last episode, where nothing much is answered, only more questions created. For instance, you won't find out-
What's the significance of the falcon & why does it do what it does?
Why does the Sheriff know who Chloe is?
Who is Chloe's Mom, & how did she know who had the hammer & why?
Why all the secrecy/lies around Alice's death?
Why did the Sheriff lose his mind... & then seem to find it again?
Wtf was up with cutting off his own hand?!!?
Why were any of the 7 people taken, kept where they were, as long as they were, & then what?
Are we supposed to believe the "Magic Man" from Small Town, USA went to England & grabbed a kid there too?!!?
How does British psychopath pull off embedding himself in the State Patrol?
Why does the Sheriff not only know who the "Magic Man" is, but where they are, & has been covering for them all this time?
Finally... WHY is the "Magic Man" the psychopathic kidnapper in the first place?!!? There aren't really any clues laid out for their choice at all that make sense.
Seems like a desperate ploy to try and force a second season, which backfired.
