I just finished watching Goosebumps on Disney+ which wasn't perfect but had a decent plot line and mostly fine acting. This series came up as a recommendation afterwards. The plot sounded similar, with death and disappearances, young cast, mystery, along with an interesting premise.
Sadly, it is not as well produced, especially from Disney, which usually has that magic touch to anything it produces. This suffers from cliche characters, slow progression, and the characters and acting are like in a bad telenovela. Serious or scary plot points were ruined by this insane need to be comedic at the wrong times, and most of all there were absolutely no characters you felt invested in because they were just stupid.
There was a huge mystery hanging over this town with an abandoned amusement park but very few adults try to be involved to find out what's going on, so it's all left to immature kids. The storyline improves a little by Season 2, but you still have do deal with the baffling characters, and subpar writing and acting.
Seriously, Find something better to watch. Season 1 has English dubbing, but season 2 does not, so it is Spanish with English subtitles. Another sloppy annoyance. While it may have been recommended to Goosebumps viewers, it is not of equal quality.
