It amazes me sometimes what people see when they watch shows. This is a short series that crams a lot of themes in. Sense of identity, being an outsider, emotional problems, sexual identity, friendships, strained friendships, parental relationships and all that wrapped around the central mystery of what really happened when the meteor struck in a one horse town in the middle of nowhere.
I found it it to be well paced. The mystery is not taxing so its not a 10/10 series but I finished each episode wanting to watch the next immediately.
I have seen criticisms on here of the acting but for me the central characters behave and in a way that I have seen thousand times in real life when they consider themselves to be outsiders in some way. As the series progresses certain characters are revealed to have certain secrets and the way others have reacted and behaved previously becomes clearer. If someone appears emotionless, the reason becomes clear.
The series ends with some things unexplained and I hope that it means a 2nd series to expand further on what we understand from the first.
While I wouldn't say this is a must see it is certainly worth a watch.
