I really want(ed) to like this series. It really hasn't hooked me yet. It hasn't completely turned me off yet either but I agree on the so-so assessment. I am not sure how they can sustain the plot and keep me interested in a serial format. I hope they can but the first three episodes (2 in premier and the latest) have left me underwhelmed. And I was cheering for Oren Peli because he seems to get what makes for a scary movie without crossing into gore/torture-porn.
