VERY Strong start but...

Okay so going into this show I had zero expectations and hadn't heard much about it. I started watching and the pacing definitely caught me off guard at first but then it came together BEAUTIFULLY by episode 2. I loved where it was going. I love the whole concept of the show and the home invasion aspect was very intense. The throwbacks were also perfectly done (at first) and I was absolutely loving it. Episode 2 is one of the best I've seen in a while. The direction was AMAZING and so was the acting and score. Sadly things went downhill somewhere halfway. I could feel the momentum slowly fading away and it was honestly sad to see. The whole second half just felt kind of rushed like the original directors handed the project over to someone else or something. I would say episode 5 & 6 were still pretty good, but episode 7 was just very unnecessary and episode 8 was a HUGE letdown. VERY lazy writing across the board. None of the loose ends were tied together and even more questions were raised. The big bad guy didn't even show up for the fight??? Like where did he go... The ending was very anticlimactic and rushed. It was just plot hole after plot hole and I was so dumbfounded at how they completely dropped the ball. It just felt like the makers were told that they had to make another season while they were 80% done with the show...
