It's like the first couple seasons in the sense that every episode is a stand alone case they're investigating, all paranormal and all creepy, and then like Lost in the way that there is a central story, a background plot, that develops and reoccurs through all of the episodes. Each stand alone episode or case is connected because of the events happening. I can't say enough good about the show, I am dead serious. And it's graphic, it's not like some pussy ass show. Last night a lady jumped off a roof and it showed her blood spray up when she slammed in to a car down below.
