    This series is still going?

    I was thoroughly convinced that after the first season, that in the second season, they should have just pivoted to an entirely different town, a different cast, and a entirely different concept of what was happening. The first season was like a long form episode of the X-files. Never explain too much. Keep it mysterious. Explaining things ruins it. Then just barely bring in the characters from the previous season towards the end of the second season, the same way the smoking man was kept mysterious in the X-files. Keep the world mysterious, but begin building out that broader landscape.

    It could have been the new X-files. Instead it died in 2 seasons.
