The show

Unravel the mystery of a nightmarish town in middle America that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.

The Real Review

Most people are hooked on the creepy premise of a town that traps people, but the story's execution gets slammed for its slow, frustrating pace. The saving grace is the acting, especially from Harold Perrineau as the sheriff Boyd Stevens and David Alpay as the unpredictable Jade. While the visuals and the original concept have their fans, the consensus is the plot has lost momentum over four seasons, leaving viewers annoyed even as they keep watching for the performances.
