I just started it today and am on episode 3 of 13 - it's been renewed for a second season, due out in 2014.

It is set in a fictional town in PA and is kind of slow and steady in its pace - like The Killing, but it has werewolves, gypsies, and a dude who can do Jedi mind tricks on people - but in a creepy way, not in a funny Star Wars way. lol

It is also a murder mystery since *something* keeps killing young women and they are trying to find out who - so it's kind of a The Killing meets Twilight meets Harper's Island kind of show.

Oh - and Eli Roth is the exec producer and also directs at least one episode (the first one).

Here's a trailer:

I tried to watch this one, but it got on my nerves pretty quickly, but I persevered through three episodes, and still didn't like it. I am finding that as I get older, when there is too much gratuitous sex, I quickly lose interest. Some is okay, but when it seems to be every other scene has sexual motives, I don't feel like it is engaging my mind enough.

So, I started watching Alphas, which I have found a little more entertaining.
