    Evil spreads, just like mould.

    Dan discovers the fate of his predecessor, Melody learns more hidden secrets at the Visser.

    Mould has never been so sinister.

    Well once again, I find myself totally wrong footed with my expectations, I expected it to go in a certain direction, I wasn't expecting this narrative.

    It's still so incredibly good, I thought the scenes where Dan learned the fate of his predecessor was brilliant, it grew and grew, it became chilling.

    Super slick, beautifully produced and acted once again,I actually found this a little easier to follow than the previous episode.

    I have zero clue how this will play out, hooked, 8/10.

    It's getting 'mossy'

    Yes, it's all about moss now - and it's getting a little bit too oc'CULT'ty for my taste, which is unnecessarily muddying the mystery waters, but there's still a satisfying level of intrigue to keep the momentum going. Not all narratives gel as much as they did before (Annabelle's role seems a bit pointless and Samuel is predictably... well you know what). However, am still enjoying the creepiness and dark tone of the compelling multilayered storytelling.

    Things are speeding up

    I think the story would get dull if they endlessly dud the same thing. Now that more is discovered things go a bit faster. I think thats good. Don't have a full picture yet but things are coming together now.

    Never looking at mold the same again lol...

    One minor nitpick, people wouldn't just touch it with bare hands or be in a room of it, especially when you know something is up.
