About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a creepy, fast-moving Amazon expedition mystery with supernatural scares and a found-footage feel; Not for you if you dislike shaky-cam style or need tidy answers, like in Archive 81.

Pros: creepy jungle atmosphere; strong mid-season momentum; suspenseful mystery | Cons: rushed early episodes; found-footage overused; divisive story turns
