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

Havent dealt with any of these monologues you speak of but I know you are prone to exaggeration in hopes of a laugh.

Watch out for one scene in particular involving a heavyhanded analogy involving a kite and string later into the show.

If the crass feminist agendas being promoted weren't readily apparent that scene should give you a rough idea about the real theme of this show.

Another utterly revolting #metoo trojan horse trying to upend the status quo and poison impressionable minds

What the fuck are you even talking about. Nothing you said even makes any amount of sense.

A woman talking about how she spends too much time being a dreamer and needs someone to ground her has what to do with rape exactly? I mean you kept mentioning the "#metoo movement" which is about rape. So please tell me where all these rape analogies are?

Lololol who the hell said anything about rape?

#metoo is about fabricating moral outrage so miserable women can direct their helpless misery at something. Same motivation as BLM and all the other snowflake movements.

I'm not even slightly surprised a degenerate weeaboo has rape fixation tho

My masculinity is pristine and intact

Unlike the kid listening to homoerotic 80s pop and obsessing over weightlifting, the most beta activity u can possibly do
