No spoilers here of course, but this is most certainly a show that will keep you guessing, as it serves up a healthy dose of twists and turns which easily sustain intrigue all the way to the finish.

This is absolutely a series that benefits from the audience knowing little about it, and if you don't remember much from the trailer, that's certainly a good thing going in.

The show constantly builds and one-ups its own premise with new dramatic wrinkles, alongside an amusing abundance of red herrings intended to throw the audience off.

Though not every new reveal is a total home-run as mentioned above, the vast majority help elevate the concept and, more importantly, further flesh out the characters.
