I remember really liking the suspenseful book when I read it years ago, but I didn't remember how it turned out so watching this was still like watching a new story unfold.

What I liked:
- The house is just like I imagined. High-quality production values!
- Acting is great.
What could have used some more attention:
- They rushed the material in the first episode, so the story was confusing. I think this would have been a better story stretched out over a few more episodes. Perhaps 6. They also rushed the flow of the relationships with the landlord so before you know it, it's been months, but it feels like they just met and hardly know one another because we've only seen them together twice.
- They could have done a better job highlighting which timeline we are watching. In the book, they start a new chapter with the woman's name (Jane or Emma), but the women look so much alike, that at first it is difficult to tell when what you're seeing is happening.
