Finished the show...liked it a lot. But it did go a little off the rails in the last two episodes...it wallowed in some cliches while thankfully avoiding others...
I ended up watching this after all, on ep. 6 now. It has its moments, usually involving Billy Bob doing/saying something funny. It's sure not top notch imo. All that **** with the black priest was cringeworthy for instance. Also I'm pretty sure that stray is a dead dog walking, calling it now. They haven't made that mean old evil corporation quite mean enough yet, better kill the dog.
The William Hurt character is a ridiculous over-the-top caricature, as are the corporate types and the engineer. Billy Bob is almost good enough to keep watching.
