This episode suffers from some idiosyncrasies, like too much exposition, markedly anachronistic gender roles, improbable reactions from the characters, and, ultimately, too much going on.  Still, the underlying mystery is interesting enough to keep you engaged, the pseudo-scientific babble presented as an "explanation" to early events is priceless, and the male lead has a terrific radio voice for the calming, manly presence he's written as.  Heavy on the supernatural.  Not bad, but not great.
