I wasn't sure what to expect for this show but I was pleasantly surprised. It was very well written and it appears that everyone in this family has a secret. The show also bounces between the past and the present, so you have to pay attention or you might miss an important clue. I hope that the rest of the episodes can keep up the momentum of the first one. I feel like I know how it's going to end only because Elementary aired an episode similar to this plot. I need to not compare the two and just see how things play out. A warning to any mother's out there....the beginning will break your heart.

Wow! What a start to a show, hopefully a series. A big ball of yarn all tangled up, so many plot lines, sympathetic and unsympathetic lead characters' all add up to an ensemble cast that have been given great material to work with. Each character is complete and has his/her own back story with hints to other possibilities within, all except for Adam who remains a mystery. As pilots go, this was a doozy and I look forward to watching this stellar cast and band of writers' bring us more information as each episode airs.
