The show tries to create some gruesome circumstances and situations and then removes much of that weight with intersparsed humor. Unfortunately, this balancing doesn't quite work here. As a comedy it's much too underplayed and as dark fantasy it doesn't let you suspend your disbelief. They should have gone all serious and left out all the relationship and workplace bickering.

Kessler does a surprisingly good job as the rattled psychologist considering his mostly comedic resume but some other comedy actors are clearly miscast, like Alexander Schubert.

The scenes are very dark sometimes but the setpieces are beautiful and ominous.

Overall, it's an enjoyable watch but there's nothing that warrants repeated viewings.
