Interestingly, this is what I liked about it. Sure, I was expecting more Sci-Fi, but I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the psychological drama. They dragged it on too long and stumbled mid season, but I was there for it.

As I saw it, it was about grief and loss, and that's something not everyone is interested in watching all the time. So it was probably hard to market (unfortunately a lot of great things are just niche and hard to market). But the combination of a sci-fi idea and a drama about loss that they pulled off was for me rather wonderful.

The idea of that liminal cabin and how they wander in and intersect there at various times was beautiful to me. Episode 6, personally, was one of the most touching pieces of TV I'd seen in a long time.
