Although a great series i wonder if it was worth getting so into it. ABC cancelling after the first season for its low ratings and netflix pondering about pushing the second season. You have to ask should I bother.

I don't think are Americanfriends appreciated it enough. After such a cliffhanger ending there definitely needs to be another series, even if they have to fund it through kickstarter. I pledge!

I watched this on Syfy channel and the pilot had me hooked straight away. Being done by Steven Spielberg made this great. I hope there is gonna be a season 2
