Politics aside it's a garbage show. The pacing is so terrible that it feels like it was made by someone who's never told a horror story before, and the CGI is some of the ugliest trash I've seen from a high budget show.

*Spoilers below for people who care about that shit *

The beginning of the first episode was pretty good, and if it had ended the moment an unseen monster tore the cops arm off it would have been excellent. Instead, they rush through what should have been an entire episode (surviving overnight in the cabin) in 10 minutes.

In episode two, they rush through what should have been a whole episode (exploring the village) in 5 minutes. In fact, the second episode rushes through what should have been an entire season at the weird cult retreat.

It really has the JJ Abrams stink all over it. He can come to with decent ideas but has no idea how to expand on them or develop them. He also thinks if something happens fast it's exciting.
