We watched the whole series through Netflix a couple of episodes a night. Enjoyed it immensely and it's definitely a breath of fresh air compared to the repetitive shock value shows that no longer shock or ever entertain- drug and alcohol use, sex, language, violence, slander- I guess you get the picture.
A few previous comments mentioned the religious aspect is terrifying and overdone although it's produced by BYU it doesn't have an abundance of religious references. A pastor is a minor character and a few of his comments are biblical scriptures but if you aren't religious and some what intelligent those lines won't cause any discomfort. If you can stand what's said on other programs this certainly won't affect you.
I would strongly suspect those commenters didn't bother to watch the show once they learned it was funded by BYU but possibly just have animosity towards Mormons in particular, Christians or anyone with faith and instinctively believe it must be a tool to persuade them to oppose what they learned elsewhere. It's not, it's too bad that misconception caused them to miss out on a good show.
But back to the show, you might consider keeping a dictionary handy as the vocabulary isn't what I would consider normal language but I found that to be another interesting part of the show. It's filmed well and will make you believe you are back in 1962 although a few cars that weren't made yet passed by on the street.
If you liked Hardy Boy's, Nancy Drew or other mysteries of that caliber I would think you would enjoy this as well. And, it's still a mystery of what happened to Arthur's dad. Maybe next season we'll find out?
