It's a Netflix original series ala House of Cards that got uploaded in it's entirety yesterday. I just watched the first episode and I thought it was a sublimely fun mess. Famke Janssen's accent in it is hilariously bizarre. I'll probably end up watching the rest of the series.

The first episode wasn't that bad, I'd say that Walking Dead/GoT is probably worse in the violence stakes.

I watched a few more episodes of this, it's incredibly ridiculous and nonsensical and Famke's accent continues to beguile/confuse me but I like it. It's a very fun trainwreck.

Seriously though, she sounds like a female Bane trying to do an English and American accent at the same time while she's chewing on toffee.

It's got a 42 on metacritic :/ based on 14 reviews as well.

I can see why, It is quite terrible. I do like it though.

Heard it's a more crappy version of the Vampire Diaries

I'd say it's more like Teen Wolf/a bad version of Twin Peaks.

I love this show!
Technically, it's the biggest pile of crap i've seen in a long time, but I really enjoyed watching it.

Originally just watched it for Famke and also found her accent hilarious. You get used to it though...
