Again, this series starts really slowly and not to build character development or to prove any points. We quickly understand that Edgar's, the son, dad is an eccentric alcoholic who is overly competitive with his son while ignoring him as well. It's also quickly understood that Vincent, the father, has severe mental health illnesses but is also brilliant. However, the series takes way too long to get to the point. It's mostly Vincent drowning himself in alcohol, while the detective, Michael Ledroit, keeps going after the wrong people when it's obvious that they are 100% not connected to the son's disappearance. Having said all the cons, the series does take a really great, in depth look at the detective's life as a closeted gay cop who is caring for and coping with his partner's struggle with AIDS. Since, this is set in the 80s, it accurately shows the corruption of the NYPD, racism, the scare of stranger danger, the misunderstanding and persecution of those with the AIDS virus and those who are part of the LGBTQ community, the taboo of getting therapy and stigma of mental health problems, plus the displacement of the homeless, minorities, and those at or below the poverty line by building new high end hotels and residential buildings while ignoring taking care of those who need it. While it starts slowly the climax of this series is even greater once the ball gets rolling.

I found it hard to get into, just like "Dark" (same creators), but once I did, I found it to be absolutely riveting. It's hard to find original story telling like this on TV anymore. The twists and turns were ones I didn't see coming (and I'm usually pretty good at predicting plots, endings, who the bad guys are, blah blah blah). However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover every twist and turn. I'm super bummed there's no second season. More and more cool shows like this are leaving us hanging. If you like psychological thrillers/sci-fi/mysteries, you'll love this series. For those who called it a dumpster fire or wannabe be game of thrones just don't get it. Aayush Raj Dubey's review says it besr when it comes to the story telling.

Kaya Scodelario is such an excellent actress so I keep wondering why she continues to make bad movies with weak leading parts and bad writing. This movie is exactly what you think it would be. A ridiculous situation no one would ever find themselves in covered by the good old Redemption story through the reunion of estranged father and daughter. It's similar to Sharknado, but done much better, although that's not saying much. I don't know why it is named Crawl as it's mostly about hiding and swimming from gators who are also swimming, not crawling, shd hunting.

Definitely predictable, it's not the first storyline like this. It's your typical haunted house, spirits and demons type of film. I didn't think the acting was that bad. This movie really depends on whether or not you are scared easily. I am not. It's fast paced and not a lot of character development, etc. But for movies like this character development is not the point of these types of movies. You've got your ghosts, your medium, the evp session, character hallucinations of ghosts, and the idea that everyone in the house believes they're going crazy after a lot of skepticism. It wasn't bad enough for me to not watch the whole thing, but not good enough for me to pay attention through the film ( I was on my phone a lot ), which led me here to see what the point of this movie was. As I write this, the movie is on in the background and I am able to pay attention to both.
