What to Know

Critics Consensus

Chapelwaite's drab proceedings are stretched a bit thin over ten episodes, but those looking for an atmospheric whodunit with a few genuine frights could do worse.

Though the bones of the story itself are ancient, showrunners Jason  and Peter Filardi embrace the gorier details of the folklore as well as the time period’s candlelit atmosphere to create a captivating story rich with gothic American imagery. Go to Full Review
