Marlene A @RT74071877 Sep 26 I thought it was excellent and very well done. It did have some scenes that were repetitive that made me feel I may be watching the same episode although I knew I was not. Regardless, it was good. I enjoyed it! I had not heard of this murder before and I am a fan of Eli Roth! See more Jay K @RT21152058 Sep 22 So boring and depressing…silly religious people saying silly religious things. Gave up at the start of episode 3. See more David Jonathan B @Djb200 Sep 14 Long-winded and drawn out with unnecessary repeated scenes of a silly model set of the same house and the same street. Endless and pointless narration, overly long interviews and the same scenes of wet blood but little else. This could all have been told in one or at most, two episodes. What on earth was Roth thinking? I've seen little of his other stuff and won't be searching out anything else if this is what he's reduced himself too. Tedious storytelling. See more Michael G @crunchyfrog Sep 7 This is so damn boring. I got through the first episode and couldn't finish the second one. The director really does not know how to tell a compelling story, even if it's about a horrific crime. They also don't understand that constant dramatic music will never be able to fix bad storytelling. See more Isaiah P @RT00588770 Sep 3 Total waste of time, tells nothing, bad acting. bad ly written and horible director. I nearly canceleed my MGM sub because of this cheesey worthles waste of my time. May read about the real 1988 Sulivan murder instead. See more Liam T @RT69665401 Sep 3 My new favorite show, if you like horror tv would definitely recommend this. Incredible acting directing and overall storytelling. See more Read all reviews
