    Only 3 episodes in and I love it

    I am confused by all these bad reviews. It's a tad bit of a slow burn but it's intelligent and original. I'm not a big fan of her either but that's not going to stop me from watching a good thriller that seems to have really good potential!

    Wow great thriller

    I hardly recognize Amy Brenneman in this show. This is a great thriller and triumph for good reporting. Good journalism stories are rare. The story here unfolds at a methodical pace that adds to the suspense. Elizabeth Moss is as good as ever. Probably second to her Mad Men role.

    So I'm 4 episodes in and wish I could just binge watch the rest right now!

    If you gave up 2 episodes in, you're missing out

    All the dots are connecting and I'm hooked now. I too after the first couple episodes was left frustrated but now Adter watching episodes 3 & 4 I've had so many Ah ha! Moments that I'm absolutely sucked in now. Don't give up I promise if your into forensics and the supernatural you won't be disappointed.

    Excellent, layered slow burn.

    Don't listen to TikTok attention spans. This is a good watch. Much like Apple TV's 'Invasion' the monster is something intangible and complicated. Elizabeth Moss is fantastic and sells the fragility of her character with ease. Like a prevailing wind, darkness tatters the edges of episode 1 repeatedly, hinting at an alternate reality.

    Give it a shot. You might enjoy it if have a few brain cells left up there after all the memes and gif animations have destroyed the rest.

    Monumental

    In episode 6 - "Bright" they start to fold it all together. It takes a very unique twist from the first 5 episodes, but they were also captivating and different.

    It reminds me of a great Stephen King novel. We enjoy this show and hope it goes on well like this for a long, long time. Groundbreaking series all the way.

    • Trivia
      A particular favorite of bestselling author Stephen King, he has said of the series that it's "exactly what streaming was made for".
    • Goofs
      Throughout the series reporters make reference to the "DA" (District Attorney). The prosecuting attorney in each county in Illinois has the title of State's Attorney, not District Attorney. No journalist in Illinois would ever refer to their county's State's Attorney as the "DA."
