Shining Vale

Not sure if it won me over or if I just became accustomed to it after the first 3-4 episodes.

I went from "Wth is this?" --> "No way I'm continuing to watch this!" --> "This is the last episode I'm trying" --> "Hmm, did they get better or did I just get used to this?" --> "Ooh, what's next??" --> "Wow, did I get hooked?" --> "Wait, what? I finished both seasons already?!"

This is the most confused I've ever been about a show, but it got a 7 from me.

Do I recommend it? You'd just have to see for yourself and maybe resist the urge to turn it off during the first few episodes, even if you feel unsure or annoyed.

I did not expect much because of all the negative reviews. I decided to watch it anyway because there's not much else on. I found it entertaining. I always liked Greg Kinnear and Courteney Cox. . As per other reviews, I did not notice much with the age different. If they're in their 50s ,they had their kids in their 30s So I don't see why all the complaints? Just give it a try and don't expect much. It's a lighthearted dark comedy and I'm looking forward to season two. If you are offended by bad language , definitely don't watch it.

The comedy horror genre is my fave and this is a great installment! Great to see Mira Sorvino and Courtney Cox and all the characters have great chemistry!

The kids are great. Funny and creepy. The jokes are laugh out loud and i have to watch it with the lights on! 😂WAAAAAY better than this rating!

I'm so surprised at all the bad reviews, esp from critics. I think this show is fun! I don't like horror and I think the scary stuff is just right. Funny writing and the family dynamic is interesting. Let's see, what was that other Courteney Cox comedy that was totally panned by the critics but the viewers liked? Oh yeah - "Friends."

Don't be deceived by negative reviews, this is definitely worth your time! I came close to passing on this brilliant series but glad I gave it a chance. The writing is perfect and love the hilarious quips between the family members. I would have given it a higher rating but wanted more. Eight episodes Isn't Enough, pun intended. The family dynamic is enough to make me go bat cray, too. You will be left wondering if Pat is really cray or possessed. The ending left room for a season 2 but not sure how it could be done.

Judith Light is perfect in the role of the whacky grandmother, and the daughter has an amazing singing voice. As an added bonus, we get to see Greg Kinnear's warm, sweet man cave! He's aging very well. I binge-watched this series in two days, and I'm very picky about what I watch. Trust me, this is good. This is the perfect show to throw a viewing party with friends and cocktails.
