I was with it for a little while at the start. However as the series progressed it became clearer and clearer that there weren't any real stakes for the main characters. They made up for it, at the end, when they actually showed that, yeah, in fact the the main cast won't always win, but it came as an after thought. For the most part you can sit through the series with the guarantee that the stars will always win. And that doesn't really feel right for a horror series like this one....
