Netflix "originals" have always been hit or miss. Their horror track record seems to be decent (minus the hemlock grove series)
Anyways. I wasnt immediately sold on the idea of this show. The cover art made it seem cheesey (full moon cheesy) and the video preview wasnt exactly enticing.
I decided to give it a shot when I literally couldnt find anything else to watch.
First episode almost made me quit. Not gonna lie. It wasnt bad but it just dragged on. When it got into the 2nd episode and beyond it got pretty good.
It's not "scary " per se but a good suspense thriller at best with supernatural elements.
At the end of day its better than average but nothing that differentiates itsself from anything out of the genre.
6/10

It was okay. It wasn't as horrible as the other reviews made it seem. There was some bad acting, but that's to be expected. The plot isn't that great and some scenes are a little forced and unconvincing. There's no character development either. Good enough for an "easy" watching teen drama, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend someone watches it.

First off let me say Enzo Barone is an excellent up and coming actor. I see a grand future for him. The story would have made a good movie. As a series, it was terribly convoluted.

Couldn't watch more than 2 episodes
I have watched some good Brazilian shows and this one wasn't one of them for sure
Terrible casting and acting
There are so many better alternatives on Netflix than this that it's a total waste of time to watch
Watch Kingdom, Ash vs evil dead or even Diablero instead

Why why why do i keep my Netflix subscription??
This series is nothing but a b Series crap.
Its boring, its lame and the acting could be done better by monkeys. Avoid
Wish the undead could've conjured up a better script and actors for this poorly written debacle.

Just finished the first episode, and I'm excited to start the next one. The character introductions gave a juicy taste of the spirit of each one, enough to draw you in, wanting to know more. It showcased the basic rules of the world, and introduced you to a freak-fest of spooks, kooks, and potential villains.
The lovely dangling threads of possible arcs and stories were wonderful, as were the interweaving lines of the culture and energy of Sao Paolo.
I'm a sucker for the interweaving of multiple cultures into a story, doubly so when that story has creepy dolls, witch queens, wrathful wraiths, and "wait a second, isn't that dude dead?" The cinematography was a gift, and while the dialogue hasn't been particularly inspiring, I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Obviously being on the first episode means my review will change quite a bit as I go. But for now, I'm loving the supernatural-horror-suspense-drama of Spectros.

I personally loved this show. There is nothing better than a mystery and when you add horror to that you have the upper most level! This is an original and has a great story line. It bit of romance, culture, ghost story and family fun all folded up in mystery. If you don't like dubs, then stay clear, because your eyes will fixate on the speech movement and you will lose the big picture. I love it and am hoping for a second season. Netflix has brought many of these little gems to us and I am very grateful; especial during lock down!

Imagine barely getting any black actors in a show but when they do they make the black girl look angry and it really freaking threw me off in the whole show. Like are you kidding me?!!! I'm tired of seeing directors put them in "bully" or "rude" positions, and not sign them up for the kind ones. It's so freaking dumb!

Too many things wrong with this show to focus on one thing. Just all around terrible. Waste of time. I regret the time I lost watching this mess. Too many things wrong with this show to focus on one thing.

I'm not sure why people are giving this show bad reviews. They try to translate as best as they can and I think they did a good job. There's 2 cultures being merged while a third one watches it, and doesn't understand. I love the storyline. It's unique. I guess it's one of those things, if you love it you really love it and if you don't, you hate it.

I do not understand the low rating this show received. It has a nice story, good characters and acting, and an unusual background. The story happens in a Japanese neighbourhood in Brasil- I loved the filming location. The characters speak in Portuguese and ocassionally in Japanese. In a nutshell - three teenagers become involved in a necromancer's plot and reluctantly try to save the world. The show is not really scary (I'm very sensitive), and is more character-driven. Try it, it's nice (and do not quit just after the first episode).
I really loved this show. Binged watch it in one go and wished there had been more. Padal was my favorite character and was portrayed so well it reminded me of the guys I grew up with and loved so much. Good job on this storyline too! I felt it was really unique and well done.
