...What I've picked up while re-watching the pilot Guilty Remnant is a Westboro Baptist Church like organization that goes around trolling people in communities where people vanished 3 years ago. The characters so far have shown controlled episodes of destructive , self destructive episodes. I can't wait for them to go full bat shit crazy on each other. Dogs that are not our Dogs BAM BAM BAM
This show is probably my favorite right now. Season 2 just started and it's even better than season 1 IMO. The whole thing with "Cousin Larry" is classic. It reminds me of Lost, lots of weird shit going on that defies explanation and yet it feels like there's a good reason behind it all and it makes you want to understand. Unlike Lost, I suspect the answers and resolutions WON'T suck. EDIT: And now I know why it reminds me of Lost - it's from the same guy. I don't know if that's good or bad.
This show continues to amaze. I cannot believe no one else here watches it. It's easily the best drama/scifi on TV right now. I use the term "scifi" loosely, it's about as scifi as Lost was.
