It might be just me but I think the logline is big?

This is what i learned in film school: try to whittle down the logline to 25 words of less. This will help you quickly who the main characters are, what their goal is, and what the stakes are. And what sounds cooler: attempting to piece together the truth? Or piecing together the truth? Cut the 'attempt' and go straight for what they do in the film.

I think that version is much better.

However, I would try to think of ways to make your series hook pop. By that, I mean the part about the malevolent entities. It feels like that part gets glossed over in your logline, and I think that might be the most important aspect of your show. Just saying "they discover evidence of" isn't as intriguing as it could be, in my opinion.

Overall, I think it's interesting and I'd watch/read, but I think you can really make it sing with some tweaks in vocabulary or restructuring things a little.
