        The show is old and brings back memories
      • Jan 25, 2021
        I had high spectations about this cult series, but I was ultimately disappointed after watching the first episodes. I still decided to gave it an opportunity until the end, but it did not worth the time I wasted. Despite a good soundtrack and its talented cast, the superficial stories aren't neither scary or intriguing as it suggests at the first sight. The visual effects were really poor also.
