The Canadian Netflix just got this show. Has anyone seen it and is it any good?

Looks like it premieres in the US on Netflix today also. Thanks for the heads-up, I will have to check it out when I can finally break away from CNN.

They caught him so the weekend starts off sort of okay.

OK, I have now binge-watched all 13 episodes on Netflix. My overall reaction to this series is "huh?". There are so many characters and storylines, and they all held so much potential, but that never really led to any purpose or resolution. I read pretty much the same evaluation of the book on Amazon, unnecessary complexity and no fulfillment. It was still interesting, and did keep my attention. Great characters, (I loved Shelly!) and the make-up effects were done by the folks that do "The Walking Dead". The final episode had great moments, but still left a lot of things unexplained. I feel they were setting up for a potential 'season 2'.
If you have Netflix, watch it, as you have already paid to see it.
