      • Mar 14, 2023
        Fantastic series based on the Stephen King novel. Atmospheric, creepy, masterful storytelling with an outstanding cast. Not to be missed by thriller / horror fans even if you aren't a fan of Stephen King.
      • Sep 01, 2022
        Interesting series that reminds me a bit of Bates Motel and Dexter. The first season has a really bad ending though!
      • Aug 21, 2022
        An outstanding 1st series, the cast is wonderful, and the story is excellent.
      • Oct 27, 2021
        I wanted to like this show... I found the storyline pretty interesting, but damn if someone isn't eating or drinking in at least 80% of the scenes in the first episode. I can't stand the sound of people eating (or talking with their mouths full) and I couldn't get past it. I don't know why they had to have people chowing down or gulping drinks and audibly swallowing so frequently. So, if you have misophonia or just don't enjoy those noises, this show may not be for you. Womp womp.

        Season 1 is not a thriller. Much more of a drama. It seems to go out of its way to be dull even while being exciting.
      • May 21, 2021
        Actually I loved this show, it reminded me of the Sinner, my another favorite TV series about weird detective looking for murderers. Great cast, great story - looking forward to the 2nd season.
      • May 06, 2021
        Good however its slow and doent make sense how this got a higher rating than the stand
      • Apr 17, 2021
        A great watch, took me a few episodes to feel any momentum but then I grew to really like the characters. The retired detective, "Kermit" lol, is such a great actor he was perfect for the role, honestly I think majority of the characters were well cast. The disturbing darkness the story crawls into is the type of entertainment I really enjoy when the filmmakers get it right, and in this show they do.

        why would a good looking gal go for an old fat bearded guy? how can a sloppy old drunk suddenly completely change so fast? how could the cops be so stupid as to not think of another key to the car (or some other entry method)? ... and the letters? are the bad guy and the dead mother the same ones from psycho? was anyone surprised that the mother ate the rat poisoned meat? did they leave anyone out? lesbian - check mom-son incest - check drunks - check autism spectrum - check super nice brilliant black kid on his way to Harvard - check bad corporate bosses - check etc...
      • Jan 24, 2021
        Tense, gripping, twisty, with great performances by all of the cast, this is a must see, edge of your seat, nail biting thriller!
