Finished this. A grim tale of religious (or anti-religious) persecution that gave me heebie-jeebie flashbacks of my years growing up in Indiana.
It did have a strong message, but in what I thought was a simple format once you set aside the fantastical part of it; I'm thinking it might have lost its nerve in the final act. Then again, maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture -- one that requires multiple seasons to grasp.
But speaking of that additional, almost epilogic, Hail Mary, it sure felt tacked on to suggest the series has much more to tell. Maybe it does. But it sure felt like an outlandish teaser hoping to garner interest -- and funds -- for a second season.
Time will tell. If I'm wrong, may I be condemned to hell.
What was that distant boom?
