It seemed slow. Does it pick up?

It still holds up if you want to watch a show that basically spells out in metaphor all the different ways in which humanity has been/is being preyed upon by the “powers that be.” It is an especially good telling of how vulnerable young girls, single parents, outcasts and runaways are in our society. It’s an excellent extended play high budget after school special!!! I love it and watch it regularly with the family, discussing the various themes.

Yes. Red Tide was awesome! Should have been a full season. Aliens should have been its own. Season as well. It was fun!

It’s still good, but not great. Cult and Apocalypse were the last A+ seasons. Everything afterwards has been B to C+ mainly because the multiple themes switcheroo at the half season point makes it seem like the stories aren’t fully fleshed out. Roanoake could have been better because it felt like 2 stories hastily mashed together. I liked 1984. I really like elements of the current season, but they should stick to 1 theme per season. An entire season of aliens would have been awesome!
