Singular Point is off to a great start

After the disappointing character work in Godzilla vs. Kong it's nice to have a reminder that likable, working, feeling, relatable characters can still fill the kaiju genre.
To be clear, thus far, it is not an action series. It's a slow burn mystery carried by the sleuthing characters. It's very reminiscent of Ultra Q in that regard. All of them exist in a very real world, working odd jobs, finishing college and engaging in an inspired passion--In this particular instance, a passion for the paranormal and bizarre. They're practically Ghost Hunters or the X-Files--Again, very reminiscent of Ultra Q.
A highly engaging aspect is how this world is completely unprepared for what's about to happen. The last 5 minutes of the episode solidify that the existence of kaiju is going to spin their lives out of control. And a certain revelation about our favorite monster seems like an apocalyptic omen for things to come.
It's a great set up and the potential it has alone is worth waiting on. Can't wait to see what happens in the rest of this series.
