The bad reviews are ridiculous. If you love murder/mystery with a psychological spin, you'll love this series. Just because some can't follow the plot, character development and the overall story doesn't make this a horrible show. One review said they watched for 17 minutes and immediately gave it a horrible review because they couldn't follow it.
The show is nothing short of amazing. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot going on but that's what had me hooked. Give it a chance and hopefully you'll find it as submersible as me.
