still trying to figure that one out.

I think the show also got hamstrung because it was supposed to just be a miniseries, right? And then ABC (I think it was ABC) ordered a full season and that kind of screwed everything up. Same thing happened with Lost (which I would call one of the both best and worst series of the aughts). An open-ended long-form mystery show is a recipe for disaster.
