The first episode of the series and with a first episode it has a lot of expectations. It needs to bring you in, hook you, and also develop characters. I was hooked from the start and really liked how the characters develop. The episode starts with a mysterious island and a mysterious character that is stranded there. The island has changed him and when he returns to his town he has some wrongs to correct. Mostly wrongs that his father allowed to happen. What he finds is a lot of hostility to this idea.
Overall, this was a great first episode and really has me hooked on the series. I didn’t want the episode to end but unfortunately it had but the good news is there are more episodes so I hope they keep up the quality.
