We all know horror-related movies and series can easily turn tacky quickly. This one did a good job at maintaining balance between the horror elements and actually having a plot. If you've ever watched the Exorcist, it has that type of feel for obvious reasons.

I can understand why this series has the fairly high ratings it has, especially for this genre. The twisted connection between the three main actors and the development of their relationship was done well. I also very much appreciated how the supporting actors did incredibly well with their shifts from a normal human being to just plain creepy.

This isn't one of those "let me shock you into fear" or "let me disgust you so much that it will hopefully leave an impact" kind of show, which is nice. And although there were scattered moments of drag, there was enough depth to the story and characters where I still looked forward to the next episode. The ending felt a bit rushed and you'll have some unanswered questions or explanations but I was pleasantly surprised at the enjoyment factor.

Bonus points were given to the score because this genre is particularly difficult to do well.
