@sacrer really? Then I didn't catch that. But it's still very highly unlikely especially since he doesn't look like himself at all and they check your passport many times, so that's a lot of bribes to organize.... Plus getting the bag through with a winged creature in it... I stand by my questions around that not being answered, haha

It was interesting to watch through, but there were many inconsistencies - like how did he get back to the island with a creature in the trunk? Doesn't it go through security checks of some kind between countries?? And what about his passport, he would look nothing like himself anymore and those are 100% checked with international travel. Besides that, the makeup for his older self was awful, as well as the makeup for the older woman in the show. It was way too obvious that they were young actors in makeup to look old, so it was very gimmicky. And then the sheriff's wardrobe was strange. His shirt seemed like a cartoon shirt and not a cop's shirt. And his gun was not a normal sheriff's gun, right? Just too many small things muddled up the atmosphere for me.
On another note, Zach Gilford's (Riley) performance was top notch. His monologue about death was captivating and well executed. Kate Siegel's (Erin) monologue in that same scene flopped though, especially coming after Gilford's, which would have been tough to follow anyways. She slightly redeemed herself with her ending monologue, but she didn't quite deliver the performance to it's full potential.
This show was actually Filled with monologues, so after a couple it got hard to completely pay attention to each one. Binging all 7 episodes was a lot to take in with heavy monologues, but acting performances all around were well done, it just didn't seem to have a good budget for makeup, wardrobe or special effects and it showed :/
Rahul Kohli also stood out, as he should. His main monologue was well scripted and acted out. And Samantha portraying Bev's character was incredibly cringe worthy. When an antagonist character bothers you to your core, then the actor has done their job, and she delivered in this role.
The script was interesting, which is why I kept watching. The bible verses quoted and the way they were perfectly woven into the theme of the show was well played out, or written out I suppose. There was still something off about some parts of the script but I can't recall those specifics, only the feeling I have about it.
All in all, it was a decent watch. I wouldn't recommend binging it...but, on the other hand, if you don't binge it, you could lose interest.... Try it out anyways and see what you get out of it.
