This premieres at 9pm central tonight.  It may be awful, but I am hard up for TV these days and I am willing to give the pilot a go.  Here is the plot from wikipedia:

The television show is a horror/drama, described as Scream meets 10 Little Indians which was written by the mystery writer Agatha Christie. The central plot is a murder mystery. Friends and family attending a wedding celebration on a secluded island off the coast of Seattle begin dying one by one. The island was also the scene of a famous series of murders seven years prior.[4]

In addition to a web series based on the show, CBS's multimedia promotion includes a live online chat on a Fancast Forum each Friday with the "murder victim" from the Thursday night U.S. broadcast, where questions and comments from viewers trying to solve the mystery are encouraged, as well as providing a behind-the-scenes view from the series.

Anyone else going to give it a whirl?  This could be one that gets cancelled after 2 episodes

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Yeah, I'm gonna check it out.  It looks interesting from the previews.  Hopefully, it won't go the way of Life On Mars!!!

 I wonder if they are touting it as a quirky mystery...hmmm...I wonder what they will compare it to, perhaps maybe the next Tw...?

Agatha Christie plus a slasher film?     Sounds like it'll have more formula than the baby food aisle.

I started a thread about a premiere I didn't even watch.

 I was pretty impressed with premiere episode, too early to tell though.  We'll see...

 I just want a tv critic to refer to it as the next Twin Peaks so posters on here will descend upon this thread and eat me alive

I watched three episodes via Netflix "watch it now." It's a mediocre story. Nothing about the characters makes me care whodunit, or who will buy the farm next. But the scenery was pretty.

 I watched none of it.  How do you like them apples?
