3/10
Was this supposed to be clever?

Warning: Spoilers
It's extremely obvious that the girl saw actual aliens and they'll show up based on how the whole thing is set up. That being said, they only appear at the end. This is a very baitishly promoted series where the actual sci-fi visuals are largely contained to the first and last episode. Most of the series is spent with a dumb cult plot, that is especially ruined by terrible side characters that ruin what should have been a story about former childhood friends working together.

Also, the actual reveal as to the alien's motives was absolutely terrible. So they abducted her, just for observing, and that's it? Great, so subvertive, story over! And yes, I caught the foreshadowing on the TVs.

It's not terrible, I enjoyed especially the one episode opening scene where she was in a simulation by the cult. I like that you get the realization that she's in a simulation, right before the scene itself starts to disintegrate. And given the color scheme after waking up is very yellow-ish all of a sudden, I was really hoping she'd still be in a simulation and that would be the big twist. But no, they go with the lame obvious reveal that she's not crazy.
