Slightly over halfway through episode two
Seems like I initially turned off episode one right before it really picked up.
Creepy show I'll definitely watch the whole thing
Was trending toward being slightly above average, but falls off hard at the end
There are a few well built moments of anxiety and they thankfully had the good sense to avoid jump scares the majority of the time, but overall it feels like Shonda Rhimes tried her hand at horror.
With the sheer unyielding torrential downpour of painfully forced, estrogen fueled "muh feels" monologues you have to sit through to get any enjoyable content, I was left wondering if some rogue faction of the #metoo movement provided creative consulting. Making all the men wholly incompetent fukboys and making the women amoral sexual predators obvlivious to their own hypocracy can only be presumed to have been a misguided attempt at empowering women.
To me the real horror was the writing, completely awful and utterly unrealistic.
The suspension of disbelief required to get in the right mindset to be scared by fairly pedestrian ghost memes is constantly being sabotaged by the characters pouring their hearts out in every other scene. The disney ended really seals the deal in exposing this as a cheesy family drama wearing a poorly tailored horror suit.
3/10
