Insânia

The plot to this story isn't straight and narrow and often gets me thinking wtf. Intense characters and plot twists and a hell of a lot of blood lol. Didn't expect to find it on Disney but glad I did.

No horror feeling. I don't know what's supposed to be scary or exciting. The whole concept is as 0815 for me as I already know it from many other series.

A decent series. The special effects are top notch the acting is better than most good characters decent plot....... It's what I am watching while I wait for what I really want to be viewing is released. I just have to comment on the intro though. Her in the dog collar striking poses of insanity (don't quite know how to describe it) it's just awful. Almost like it was purchased last minute from the fiverr website. What the heck happened? Did someone win a raffle to have their work included on the show? Was it created with an old version of Adobe? Did the producer let a family member guilt trip them into a job? It's horrible. Like elicits a sound of disgust from me. Yuck or eeehh.

The characters, their decisions, and the plot itself are highly unrealistic. People working in those professions wouldn't behave as irresponsible, thoughtless and impetuous. The main character is supposed to be a strong and intelligent character, but she keeps acting completely emotional and can't control her impulses. Like when the doctor asked about her dreams, she could just have decided not to admit anything or not engage that much in that conversation, but she bursts into tears and behaves as if she was hypnotized and forced to relive those dreams.

Also, the characters lack depth and are written very simple, e.g. An obviously evil German Nazi doctor.

Things just don't make sense, like keeping a person against their will in an asylum for losing it when she sees her daughter's body? Forcing that person to take some random medication? Denying visitations? I find it very hard to watch this and feel like this is something that could actually have happened this way.

The series is not afraid to do drastic moves, when you think something can't possibly happen because it will be prevented, like in other thrillers, it will happen here. Some of the elements were predictable, but some completely blew my mind and I could not believe that with some things it was the case. Main elements are: thrill, psychological, mystery, sub elements you can expect: guilt, regret, phobia, love, sacrifice, anger, unity, friendship reflecting the characters. If you came here for cheap jumpscares or a slasher, this is a totally wrong place for that, expect a series reminding you of Shutter Island. This series is a fresh take from all the jumpscare - based horror movies we have nowadays. A series is totally worth a watch, the horrible rating that is given does not reflect reality and it does not do justice. I sincerely hope the series will continue for season 2. Highly recommend.
