I liked the premise and set up of the show. The core characters were also introduced and developed well in the first couple of episodes. However, it starts to lose steam around episode 4-5. The religious sermons and evangelical characters start to get repetitive and tiring. I get that this is supposed to be a commentary on real-life fanatics, but it didn't grab my attention for long given how drawn-out it was. We also don't get the explore the characters after their initial introduction, and a lot of the conflict or story seems superficial and one dimensional. As a result, I am not invested on what happens to any of them and am just waiting for the next jump scare. It's a shame because I like this type of horror (that's not campy or relying on gore), but this lays it on so thick with the religious stuff that it loses its way.

There is a lot of amazing content here, but the show is unwatchable because of the rapid edits (I kept tab, literally a new cut or scene every 2 seconds) very on-the-nose references (e.g., if they say someone is writing a script, it cuts to a typewriter), and annoying narrator. Really wish they didn't try so hard in making it seem "cool" with excessive memes and references and a narrator who is all over the place and talking over the interviewees.

I couldn't make it to the halfway point of an episode.
