The Family

One word: phenomenal. ABC currently has two other ongoing series with the same "back and forth" approach between past and present, and you might expect such a recurrence to be tiring or bland, but it's worked and is still working spectacularly for the network. This was one 2016's most anticipated shows for a reason, and it's delivered, going even above and beyond my expectations. Watching each episode has been an Experience, capital E. It's like biting into a layered cake and discovering there's so many more layers than you'd been made to believe. The characterizations and the respective performances by each individual cast member, the nail biting cliffhangers and plot twists that leave you on the edge of your seat itching for more, the painstakingly slow unraveling of this hugely intricate story—I'm hooked. After taking that first figurative bite, I've enjoyed discovering and picking apart which is what layer. Truly, genuinely so pleased with what this show's done and how the creator and writers have gone about it. I'm hoping the very end product will be as fantastic as the journey thus far.

Looks solid! Great mystery show. Really like the atmosphere. Reminds me of The Killing. Great to see Zach Gilford in something with substance. Gonna add this to my watch list.
