My reactions have been all over the road to this show, but I'm finally coming down in the camp of "meh, with top notes of dislike." Here's how it's gone for one viewer:

1. Bored by premiere ep; didn't like anyone.

2. Intrigued by second ep, since there's always something about found footage of someone in a basement wearing a devil mask and a bloody handprint on the wall and a voyeuristic janitor that puts things in the deep-creep territory.

3. Hung with it, even though the plot seemed to meander, I didn't care about the mayor's race at all - really, it's like a completely different and utterly uninteresting political drama grafted into the show. The Upstart Candidate's problems might be interesting if you cared, or lived in the city, or were him, but right now it's starting to look like the tale of a competent, charismatic, effective if ethically squishy Mayor who's challenged by an astonishingly inept councilperson whose inability to run a campaign does not harbor well for a possible stint as leader of the entire city.

4. Got tired of two things: it's always raining, and no one ever turns the lights on.

5. Was bored when they started going after the teacher, because it's the middle of the series, and whoever's the focus in the middle never turns out to be the killer. You almost want someone on the show to admit as much. "Hold on, this can't be the guy. The evidence looks good and he's lying to us, and we have him at the scene, but the investigation is only five days old. Someone will turn up in two weeks, and I'll bet it's a wealthy ex-priest who killed her because she discovered his plan to do something nefarious and real-estate related."

So who did it? My money's on the driver for the company, maybe. Or the weaselly campaign aide. Or Judge Crater. At this point it's difficult to have anything invested in it, because the show's been far more interested in playing out interminable scenes of parental grief instead of telling us who they're grieving about. We know next to nothing about the murdered girl.

At this point, I just want it to be done.
