Okay I was super excited for this , I love love love Mr Morgan Freeman and so I knew nobody could live up to him but I was still prepared to give it a chance because hello it's a thriller , my favourite genre, but five minutes into the first episode I was rolling my eyes big time and was ready to turn it off.

It stank!

Well except for one funny line that's it.

It's getting really boring these days when something new pops up and in the first 5 minutes it becomes racially biased or is sending out political messages. Just stop it already because this is supposed to be ENTERTAINMENT.

That being said I left it on and by the end of episode 3 I enjoyed it. It's not the greatest, it's not Morgan Freeman quality but it got better and watchable and enjoyable! You must stay with it and keep watching it gets really good but the saving grace in this for certain was Ryan Eggold.

I could write a list of what was wrong with this show starting with the lighting , racial bias and little hints of it being more like a cult like that tv show a few years back the following but try and look past that and give it a chance but I promise you it is NO GOOD just watching the first episode as you will want to turn it off so keep at it and make your mind up after 3 episodes . Episodes 5 and 6 were my favourites in terms of being a thriller and by episode 7 you wil be hoping it doesn't end here. Episode 8 I was rolling my eyes a bit and it had the hints of a cult tv show again but I am hanging in there . Give it a go 7/10.

I don't want to give anything away here but Holy Guacamole I have never seen Billy Crystal in anything like this and he really belongs here! He is giving me the innocent victim slash something very dark and disturbed going on here vibes.

In fact I am really happy with all of the cast here, what a great line up! Happy to see Judith Light again and Rosie always impresses but that little boy - fantastic!

SO This is a thriller, but it ain't no ordinary thriller, this has a bit of everything going on and it's scary! Like cinematic experience in this will give you some chills especially those darn close ups because it's coupled with some good old fashioned haunting creepy music - even at times nothing much is happening it will make you feel like your losing your mind cause you're scared lol There are parts in this that scared the bejesus out of me and I was like "'who came up with this" and Billy Crystal in a thriller ? What now? But he is good. He is so so so very good!!

Oh there is a storyline here , don't worry about that and you're going to be intrigued by it but get ready for the jumps , cause 2 episodes in and all I can say is you best go lock the doors and now go check them again hahaha I loved it!
