Gothic aesthetics and pagan fantasy can't save this lacking mystery

[jsapearce · 2/10 · 19 December 2023]

Starts off intriguing, middling from episodes 3-6, then an ultimately atrocious ending that is Lost-esque with the writers writing themselves into a corner.

While there is solid acting by the family throughout, many loose threads story-wise leave the watcher confused during the show's 8 episode run. Unfortunately, a waste of a potentially good premise with a yawn-worthy twist.

Without going into any spoilers, as soon as the end credits rolled I was immediately asking myself what happened to several supporting cast. Tiny, loosely woven threads appeared during the last 10 minutes of the series but this felt incredibly rushed and insulting as a viewer that watched for 8 episodes.

The show was marketed as "from the creators of Fleabag" - both shows couldn't be further apart. 2/10.

Trying very hard, and very trying

I came to this as it felt like there was a lot that should work on paper, some interesting cast and an intriguing premise. Certainly, there's plenty of intrigue in the first episode, but sadly it's all downhill from there. And for a comedy, there are nearly zero laughs to be found.

Gelman's performance is enormous, the direction is so colorful that it's sickly. Perhaps both of those are attempts to bring some comedy to the show, but they are sorely misguided. The tone veers all over the place, operating in such aimless extremes that it will leave you feeling totally lost, and with little of it making any sense at all.

What it makes for is a show that is trying so hard to tell you how good and funny it is, without actually being either. A real disappointment.

Mysterious!!

Honestly, the whole thing is confusing as hell but at the same time it's super engaging. There were moments that were humorous and other moments that were eerie and creepy. But along with the horror moments you can find some funny moments. I loved it because of how many u-turns it took, you can think like,"oh yeah they're definitely up to something" but turns out they're not ,or, you can think like,"oh he finally did it!" But turns out he did not.. which made me think like what?! What's the purpose of this whole thing and who is that one girl and what the hell was that painting!! It's making me go insane not knowing what are the meaning behind these. Overall, everything was amazing, I loved the mystery and the events they were super engaging!

Strangest show I've seen in years

This is probably the strangest, weirdest show I've seen in years.

The actors are great, the direction is great, and the editing is great! The story however, is all over the place, and so random that I'm baffled. I'm left wondering if there even was a script at all. Was it all improvisation by the actors?

And it's definitely not a comedy. But what is it? It's not funny, so not a comedy. It's creepy at times, but not scary, so not a horror. It's exiting at short amounts of time, but not thrilling, so not a thriller. What genre is this show??

There are so many things happening, and so many characters. Yet, after the last episode, you sit back and think - what the h*** did I just watch? Who was that girl, why did the villagers do as they did, what happened to that guy, and who was really that child? Too many unanswered questions.

I'm giving it three stars for the acting, editing, and direction. The story completely through me off.

Watch one and you're hooked!

This show is a damn good show. Acting is phenomenal, setting is eerie and plot keeps getting thicker. Anyone who is downtalking the show due to asking questions at the end is missing the point of a mystery. I was enthralled from start to finish and had some great laughs along the way as well as some very uneasy moments of dread. Some negative comments were about being confused by certain instances of the show not being explained by the end but I bet the critics watched it all the way there pretty quickly. Here's hoping for season 2 in the pipeline to answer those questions left at the end, I'll certainly be looking out for it.
