I'd say the first seasons and second season are stealing too many ideas from other movies/shows. Such as the Hill houses' Red door mirroring that of Insidious and like minded concepts. In this season it's very much the same but now it's more akin to plagiarizing other ideas with a bit of a twist. I'd even go so far to say it's pushing political narrative in both seasons from miscegenation to same sex relationships in order to maintain some form of "interest" which falls on it's face. While i don't care if either of those exist in a show, but if all your seasons are going to skull F*** me with political opinions, then there isn't going to be a positive review for it. Throw in the poor foundation of the story itself. While the directing was fine, the actors were solid, the other subjects i mentioned were largely the problem. If you want a "Scary story", this might be it, but over all, it's not going to scare you with things jumping out.

It's really drawn out to get a story going. I would go so far to say by Episode 7-8 is still pretty drawn out in just the first season alone. Sometimes i wonder if i had read the script/book myself it'd have been faster. Not to say this reflects it's quality of being, it left me feeling somewhere in the middle, not necessarily mind blowing, or scary, but the acting wasn't terrible either. Bit push on the Politically correct stuff, that i didn't care for, other than that i'd probably give it a 6/10 Some Pros: Good actors. Decent story Attention to detail Some Cons: It's like watching moss grow on a rock. Some political correctness/normalizing "Proper" narratives. It's not really scary in concept. Some cliches but nothing too wild, the stereotypical "red door" idea is a bit old, very similar to Insidious in that one specific concept and i'm sure many others. My bias: Scary movies don't really scare me, and i've watched many multiple times over, so take what i'm saying with a grain of salt. What I don't like you may love. It's worth a watch if not at least through the first season, I can't say it's not worth giving a shot, it's not terrible.
