“The concept of this is very cool and has a lot to be explored. However, the story itself suffers from bad pacing and pretty poor character development. The whole thing could’ve been tied up in half the time. Nothing majorly significant occurs until the very final episode. Also, I find Daniel incredibly boring and a little stupid. He doesn’t seem to possess any helpful skills. No fighting skills, no tactical skills, no book smarts, no bravado, no mechanical skills (as it pertains to his bike), little social skills which makes him a terrible protagonist. I don’t know, if I’m the only one that can see some terrible entity that I know is murderous, I’m either going to be incredibly paranoid of all people and drive myself insane, or at the very least PREPARE FOR WAR. He does none of the above and just aimlessly drives himself from town to town learning nothing and improving nothing. This makes him very dull. Tack on the fact that we learn very little about him or the shadows for much of season 1, and it makes an awesome concept seem like a chore. I hope they consider this and fix the pacing going forward. If they don’t, not a big loss. I’m not all that excited for season 2.”
