If I could use profanity to explain my excitement of how much I like this show I would shay it kicks donkey! But alas I can’t so I just have to say that the plot to this show seemed like it was going to be yet another lame chain letter type of event and turned out to be an extraordinary suspense thriller with twists in every episode.
