I recommend you ignore the high score and actually read some of the actual reviews. As someone who hasn't read any of the books, I came into this hoping to satisfy my paranormal series itch (having watched season 1 of From).
To put it bluntly, this series is so disappointing it makes me want to cry. Cry because i could see the potential in the story and the characters but non of it was met at all.
I assumed from watching the first episodes,the character of Lockwood was supposed to portray a charismatic, suave, smooth talker whose out for glory while hiding a dark secret but the character finally portrayed is as charamatic as a wet blanket.
Infact every character is as dull as a pack of half eaten hotdogs.
The story is set in a world where ghosts are ranked according God knows what criteria and emphaisis on some kind of night curfew, but you constantly see people and vehicle's going about all night long. clearly the curfew isn't that serious hence the threats posed by the ghosts isn't either.
from what I've read in other reviews, this is one of those novel adaptations where you are better off reading the books.
