I first thought it was another simple horror tv show. It’s deeper than that. The storyline is great and it’s very suspenseful. Although it might have some annoying lengths sometimes.

I think Mike Flanagan is quite competent in most of what he does, but nothing of his ever blew me away. This show is no different as he certainly is aware of today's tropes and crafts an unusually slow paced horror story more focused on the psychological impact of the haunting than scares, but after so many scene transitions between the story's timelines it gets quite tedious. It is really the later half of the series that tainted my enjoyment with more focus on melodramatic elements, monologues and a conclusion that had me feeling like I just wasted quite a lot of time...

Fantastic series, for once we are given a show that doesn't hold our hand and lead us through the story. I don't know why people need shows that explain every moment, this is gripping stuff throwing up more questions than answers. Hell, if Stephen King loves it you know there is some great interpretation of the original story. Update on my previous comment: I was a bit disappointed by the last episode, it felt as if they were stuck between finishing the story or making room for a new season. Even more disappointing was the obligatory ... 'and the moral of the story is ...' where I felt we were being told to love one another and be happy bunnies. We know that's what we should do, but I don't want to be forced fed this in a horror series that I was enjoying so much. We watch this stuff for our own psychological torture not moral advice!

I watched 4 episodes, but this is not for me, flashback,flashback, flashback, boring. Stopt watching.

I watched the whole season this weekend. I liked it and thought the story line was interesting. What I didn’t like was the annoying relationship between the family members. Other than that, it was good
