We found it immediately creepy and eerie! The very first three scenes are creepy with strong supernatural overtones. It goes on to have creepy/eerie events.
Alas, due to the graphic sex scene, we won’t be watching with our 17 year olds.
That scene wasn’t graphic, there was no nudity. I wouldn’t want to watch that with my teen either, I would just fast forward it. But calling it graphic no. The scene where the state trooper is describing what she saw when she served in the military and the other woman had half her head blown off, that was graphic.
The sex scene was gratuitous. It added nothing to the story and wasn’t sexy in the slightest. I wish they’d stop adding these to shows just because they can. It cheapens everything.

Jodie Foster is the chief. John Hawks is Frank Prior who is a deputy. Finn Bennett is Peter Prior who works underneath both of them and he’s Frank’s adult son. They’re all with the local police department.
Kali Reis is Evangeline Navarro and she’s a state trooper. She USED to be in the local police department and was working with Frank on the murder case of the native woman Anna. The case went unsolved and closed or shelved or however you want to call it. Then sometime later Jodie Foster arrived and was made the chief of police and Navarro asked the new chief (Jodie) to reopen Anna’s case and Jodie said no (not clear why, also not clear why Frank had Anna’s files at his house and lied about them). This refusal started a riff between Navarro and Jodie Foster eventually leading to Jodie asking for Navarro to be transferred to the state troopers.
Np here-thank you for posting this! And are we thinking Jodie foster and Frank Prior were married or in a relationship before and have since had an acrimonious split? Because that’s what I came away with.
If Jodie and Frank had been married, I would have thought the son who is also a police detective would have been her son. Instead he calls her chief and they don't seem to have any kind of parent/child relationship.
But there is some sort of accident and other young child named Holden that I am sure they will discuss later. The girl who lives with Jodie (I assume it's a stepdaughter or niece) mentioned why they don't talk about "that night" or "what happened; Jodie has 2 flashbacks, 1) when she's approaching the drunk driver's crash car and 2) when she's in bed a child's hand reaches over to shake her and whispers "she's awake" [same thing the scientist said at the beginning], Jodie wakes up and says "Holden?" and then picks up the polar bear stuffed animal on the floor. I wonder if the girls father and this kid Holden died in a drunk driver accident or some other kind of accident (speculating).
Wasn’t there a hand on her shoulder when she heard “she’s awake”? Also, the stuffed Olaf bear had it’s left eye ripped, same as the polar bear the trooper “saw” in the street.

Agreed. I didn’t understand the point of why that scene was included.
Are people talking about the scene when the wife (baby mama?) reaches into the young cop's pants? If so, I definitely saw a point there -- they're interrupted by a call from "the chief" (Jodie Foster's character) and he immediately takes it. He's enjoying an intimate moment but is willing to kill it without even really thinking about it because she called.
