Amieee L @G4ygirl06 15 hrs ago Josh Hartnett 😛 Thats all I have to say See more Chris G @RT95001565 1 day ago Mike Flanagan virtue signaling again. This movie's payoff is a literal joke. See more Daily T @RT47500257 1 day ago A horror series about a mysterious sea creature terrorising a small fishing town might sound like a fairly straightforward monster story, but I thought this Netflix series did a great job of combining creature horror, mystery, family drama and some surprisingly funny moments. See more Marty W @Marty208 2 days ago Worth watching, good cast, scenery and suspense. ... I will say the accents were a bit distracting. Both the accents and some of the shoddier CGI moments were able to disrupt the tension/suspense for me. Ending felt too....I dont know what. Just off. I wont spoil anything, but the ending is the missing star. See more Erma K @Erma87 2 days ago Weird show. Completely ridiculous but sucker for coastal fishing towns and the world needs more sea monster shows. See more Jen M @Jemmac 2 days ago Is it the best show ever? Absolutely not. But it's fun as hell! See more Read all reviews
