About
You may enjoy this if you want a dark, socially charged supernatural drama set in 1930s Los Angeles, but Not for you if you expect constant scares, tight plotting, or the same vibe as Penny Dreadful.
Pros: ambitious mix of genres; thought-provoking moments; strong ensemble energy | Cons: uneven pacing; disjointed story threads; less suspense than expected
