Awful script.. absolutely no story.

"We are a Cosmos dreaming of itself" Leave it to Flanagan to weave a meticulous story and you'll have this ultimate series that is so fresh and complete that you wouldn't want to change a thing about it. The series begins as a horror/thriller, and of course there are couple of jump-scares and the usual gore that fulfills the horror genre, but the premise is so much more than that. The character development is very strong and the actors did a brilliant job bringing that to life. This story is a blend of different views - mythology, history, contemporary politics, and rationality, all weaving together, yet leaves it to the audience to decide what part appeals them the most and take refuge in that. Conversations on life and death are so profound that sometimes you feel it's a treatise on philosophy, of what it means to be alive and mere existence isn't equivalent to life. Watching this series while also simultaneously deliberating on those abstract thoughts will yield an altogether different experience!
