Firstly, this series was incredibly slow. Nothing seems to ever happen. I think it is supposed to be creepy but somehow it falls flat.
Then there is the frequent animal cruelty. I understand the one reviewer who wrote that it is not like there is graphic violence towards the animals. But there is enough. For many animal lovers, such as myself, I find the repeated theme very cringey. It made me not enjoy the show.
I think the series could have been condensed a lot and it would have made more compelling viewing. This seems to be a common flaw in Netflix shows - i think the productions get paid by the episode bc so many seem much longer than seems suitable to the material.
Bottom-line: 5.5 / 6.

If you like the horror / thriller genre then you have seen this storyline before, as I have. You will recognize the plot and know where it is going. No real suspense here. It is also pretty trashy. I watched it by myself but if I were watching with others, I'd be embarrassed because it is just trashy, like something marketed at teens. The ending also drags on too long. Don't pay money to watch it. I give it a 6/10.
The description of the movie plot sounded so mysterious and intriguing! With the the topics of cults & murders, i was expecting an exciting & mysterious movie. Sadly, this is more of a slow-paced drama than a thriller. The first hour was the worst, with no intrigue or mystery building. I'm not sure if it is the story, dialogue or action (or lack thereof) that makes the viewing so darn dull. But it's quite bland. Now admittedly, the last 20 minutes were more exciting, and the last bit does rather make some sense of what you were watching in the hour or so previous. The last 20 minutes, however, is not enough to redeem this movie. Unfortunately, despite the good acting & production overall, the story just falls flat.
