It took me a while. I was bickering about all the unbelievable stuff, before. Like when old, disabled women act like world class climbers, while a ten feet fall is a sure-fire (two-time) death trap... but with this episode it is absolutely clear:
This is not our world. This is a parallel universe.
With it's own rules. Anything goes.
Or at least for some. Charlie, for example, is able to not only survive getting bumped by an at least 50mph fast car, head on - she is more or less fine.
(the car, of course, too)
I guess the lie-detector thingy was an obvious hint. She has a range of powers.
...Captain Marvel, maybe?
A cursed superhero, of course. She is followed by the angel of death. If you meet her... RUN. There will be blood.
(but okay, that is a typical 70s and 80s trope)
The story, by the way, is really strange.
E.g., and it's a recurring theme of this show: people are trusting other people way too much, AFTER these people found out that these other people are very, very dangerous.
Or the guy who doesn't even flinch when another guy, in front of him, raises a gun and shoots him in the face.
Oh, and don't get me started on that guy early on, whose "move" is to take off his shirt... cheesiest scene I've seen in a long time.
On a positive note: very able guest stars. And the finale... was cool, at first.
Then I remembered: she's not human. She's superhuman.
She would be fine.
