    It’s good, I love Jody foster, Navarro is a great actress, qavvik is a great character. It still suffers from some pretty clumsy writing though. No one in the town or the police force generally seems to notice that 6 people died in a horrifying mass murder/accident. There’s a lot of just rolling with it going on.

    I am enjoying it though

        They do kinda cover that by saying the scientists were doing something secret and kept themselves separate, so there is a bit of an “out” for why none of their families have noticed.
        It’s not at all perfect because the prologue shows them making videos for social media, so they clearly do have regular contact to the outer world
