ABC ventures into Twilight Zone territory with an intriguing series about a small town police chief who encounters a young girl near the site of a plane crash who doesn't remember her name or anything else about her life. A couple conveniently show up to claim the girl, who the sheriff has named Piper, and are conveniently dispatched and, of course, it's not long before the finale of the pilot that we learn Piper is most likely an alien of some kind. There are, of course, lots of unanswered questions, most importantly, what is Piper's objective. What did keep me invested in this pilot was this female sheriff at the center of the proceedings. She's extremely smart and very vividly human and is always thinking. I loved when the couple arrived to claim Piper, who they called Olivia, she didn't take these people at their word and took their prints off their coffee cups and had them run. The relationship that has been established between Sheriff Evans, well played by Allison Tolman and this little girl, played by Alexa Swinton, is already shaping into something pretty special that is probably going to keep me watching.
