About
You’ll likely click with this if you enjoy slow-burn crime mysteries that gradually turn supernatural, especially if Defending Jacob or Sharp Objects worked for you; Not for you if you want fast pacing, constant scares, or a lean story.
Pros: gripping opening episodes; eerie mystery; strong performances | Cons: slow middle stretch; dragged-out pacing; uneven supernatural shift
