Actually caught this a couple of days early on On Demand. Anyone else watching? Seems like a decent little chunk of weirdness. I called the Witness Protection business early but that looks not to be the whole story behind the new identities. I could’ve lived without the old lady diddling scene, I think. Not sure if the “psychic twins” bit menas they’re going full-on supernatural for the show or not. Kinda hoping not. In all I can see some potential to measure up to other oddball series set in small towns, like The Prisoner or Twin Peaks. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] No one? [/QUOTE] One episode was enough for me. It’s not going into my viewing rotation. I don’t mind quirky if it feels organic to the story, but this was so purposefully quirky it really distracted me.
