Alison's and Cole's p.o.v.'s on Sunday felt and played largely the same, like the middle stretches of a slow, downbeat indie feature.October 12, 2015
Having the added benefit of Helen's and Cole's viewpoints adds greatly to the story, and throws a serious wrench into Noah's guilt. There is so much more to this story, and we've only just begun to peel away the layers.October 12, 2015
Showrunner Sarah Treem places his memories side-by-side against Alison's, which brings up a lot of interesting questions about what we've seen of him thus far.October 12, 2015
