    its ok, i enjoyed it

    Its ok, i enjoyed it, just gotta throw logic out the window. With so many keys doing so many different things. You are always thinking, why they didn't use this key or that key. Why isn't the character doing this or that. Why isn't the villian eliminating that person. But just enjoy it for what it is.

    Most eps leave with a cliff hanger so you are excited to see the next ep.

    Acting was ok, most of them are young adults or kids, you you can't be expecting oscar contending acting here.

    The special effects are enough that it doesn't look cheesy. I binged watch all 3 seasons when they came out, but it looks like that's the end of the story.

    So glad I watched before I read the reviews

    The thing I find ridiculous about all of these reviews is that the people writing them and their main bone of contention is that the characters keep making decisions and doing things they don't expect... if they DID people would complain that the characters are sooooo predictable though.

    This show woke my tired, dusty old imagination up again. It is so visually beautiful and the story so original that any character flaws and plot holes are easily overlooked for me.

    Sometimes they (the characters) aren't very likeable and sometimes the actors seem to clang against each other at different frequencies and sometimes they don't meet up at all so a scene falls short due to the delivery, but overall I love this show so much and can't wait for a season 2

    Went from watchable to dumpster fire by Episode 7.

    It's gonna seem great until the 7th episode, when you get front row tickets to witness a group of writers throw their own careers into the garbage.

    It seriously feels like they were trying to speed-run the feeling disappointment that was Game of Thrones season 8.

    I CAME HERE FOR THE REVIEWS

    And you guys did not let me down. Great show but you will lose your mind over the stupid things the characters do. At one point you will give up rooting for the Locke family because their dumb decisions are the only thing that makes the show have as many episodes as it dies.

    It has quite a cool concept but the execution wasn't the best.

    Season One: 6.5/10

    Themes: Fantasy, Mystery, Drama, Horror, Magic, Paranormal, Family, High School, Murder, Relationships & Grief.

    Review: The concept of this show is interesting and fun, but for me the execution felt lacking. The pacing was very slow, and something about it felt off. Maybe it was the acting or the dialogue, but I couldn't help but think it was a lot more cringey than it needed to be. Some of the world-building was decent and cool, but I once again think it could have been done even better. The plot was okay, but some of the decision-making skills of the main characters were painfully stupid.
