Anybody else watching this?

It's about a plane crash in which during the initial 911 response a little girl is discovered and she has some "abilities" lets say. I don't want to spoil it for anyone that may fancy watching it, so I'll say no more.

None plot things though that I find really refreshing in a TV show;
The lead lady is not some stunning stick thin model looker, she's a attractive in a way, but is carrying weight (is that a PC way of putting it?).
The teenage daughter, is a happy girl and not an overly angsty or stroppy brat
The divorced couple still get along really well and aren't at each others throats in a way that constantly goes against what needs to be done.

So, all in all, I say, those bits alone are refreshing.
It's been on about 10 weeks now and I'm quite enjoying it, it's quite interesting.

I'm on episode 9 . A few surprise twists thrown in for good measure.

Just started ep 1 tonight.

Watchable enough, but I’m getting a poor man’s “Stranger Things” vibe. Young girl escaped from a secret government facility who will presumably manifest special powers, shacked up with a small town police chief.

Only one episode left in this first season, it's alright and still refreshing for the points raised in the OP. Will be interesting if it gets a 2nd season.

Read a few weeks ago it’s one season only as poor ratings

I thought it was okay at best, couple of twists held my interest but could have been better.

I’ve watched the first three and lost interest really. It’s all a bit by-the-numbers and I find the police chief’s mannerisms annoying. Think I’ll ditch it.
