Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and sci-fi fans. If you loved The Flash or Ghost Whisperer, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 15 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

In the aftermath of a hurricane the Florida Park Ranger and his family deal with strange occurrences, including luminescent creatures in the water. People in the town start to act different, who can you trust?
