When did the show turn into a comedy?

From great to an embrassment in 60 minutes. Honestly the absurdity of this episode was quite astonishing. Just a hot mess of stupidity.

Entertainment at it's best

Excellent episode, obviously inspired by the TZ howling man ep story but modified and modernized with the perfect balance of humor and scary! Great writing and the cast once again nailed it. Thanks again for being one of the few shows I look forward to watching. Hopefully we can get a few more seasons written as well as these first two!

Possibly the best episode so far

I can't say enough as to how grateful I am that this series was moved to Paramount+ this season. The scripts this season have been outstanding and far from the conventional storylines of investigating possession cases of the first season.

That being said, this episode has shown that the creativity of Robert and Michelle King, who created this series and wrote this script have completely outdone themselves. With hardly anything spoken, the story is vividly portrayed thought the stellar cast and serio-comic direction by Mr. King, who also deftly handles the more serious scenes.

One can only hope that this series remains creative, witty and, at times, horrifying.

Annoying and childish main character

Another rather bad episode, which could have been original but was marred by Kristen's character, who has changed a lot since the first season. She now has the maturity of a 15-year-old who is discovering alcohol for the first time, who doesn't respect others even though she is invited, who cries misogyny (??) and who is rude at meals. Just unpleasant, unlikeable as a main character.

It's just too bad because the episode was promising and was original kinda, though we saw this already in multiple series like buffy the vampire slayer, but still.

I feel like the main character is more childish than her own daughters, and really different than season 1 kristen.

Terrible Episode

I absolutely hated this episode. I had trouble reading what they wrote and trouble understanding them when they whispered. Also, when is David going to notice something is up with Kristen? Why hasn't Ben mentioned Kristen's strange behavior to Ben?

Trivia
A largely or entirely silent episode is a longstanding tradition in television history, often seen as a creative challenge for a writing staff. Some of the best-ever examples of the genre include "The Boy From 6B" (an episode of Only Murders in the Building that is mostly executed from the point of view of a Deaf character, and therefore mostly performed in American sign language); "Rm9sbG93ZXJz" (an episode of The X-Files in which Mulder and Scully must remain mostly silent as they battle an AI run amok); and "Hush" (an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which every person in Sunnydale is silenced by floating demons who steal voices).

Goofs
Stigmata are regarded as a miracle themselves, and conceivably a greater one than the uncorrupted corpse of the monk. Yet the stigmatic is never even mentioned in the briefing before the assessors are sent on the mission.
