Them

I appreciated the eerie and sinister atmosphere. It did feel like I was watching a black family suffering for 9 episodes which would have put me off watching if it wasn't for me willing the last episode to have some sort of resolution. Not only were they up against racism but supernatural forces as well - it's like it couldn't be worse. It was rather depressing and hopeless than scary but the last episode kind of redeemed the series. It did keep me watching until I'd finished all the episodes so it gets some points for that. I need to watch something cheerful now.

Rewatched A 2nd time and Season 1 was pretty damn good. I paid a lot closer attention this time. But I enjoyed the end and the creepiness factor the 2nd time through was even better. Giving it a little bump to 8/10

So I thought Season 1 was Creepy, Dark, Weird, Bizarre and totally American Horror Story esqe. I liked it. Will there be a season 2? It doesn't seem like they wrote the show with a season 2 in mind. Some great performances in the show acting-wise. Oh nevermind I see it says it will be an 'anthology' show' so it WILL be like American Horror Story. I can go for that. But for this first season I scored it an average by ep. Of 7/10.

Season 1 - 7/10.

After having watched the first three episodes I find this series horrifying. It makes me feel terrible and sad and scared while at the same time hopeful that somehow things will work out for the family, though I have a desperate dread that it won't. Some reviews say the producers took racism too far. Unfortunately, I think, in actuality, it was much much worse.

I absolutely LOVED everything up until episode 9. I feel like episode 9 was completely unnecessary and shouldn't have been put in at all. They over explained it. The last episode tried to make up for it but couldn't. I would still recommend this to people, but I'll warn them that they'll be disappointed in the ending. It makes me so sad because of just how good it was for most of it. It deserved so much better.

This series starts off so well - the storyline was very real and the story-telling was carefully planned and executed but.. by the time you reach episode 6-7 the story heads in a very odd direction. The illusions take over the plot, to the extent that it sometimes becomes difficult to differentiate what's real from the illusion.

By the time you get to the end it all becomes a bit of a disappointment. This could have been so much better..
