If you're looking for classic horror and you're not a fan of scare scenes like me, you can give this one a try. I like Adrian Brody, haven't watched him in a long while and I enjoyed it. A good actor is a good actor! The show has this beautiful gothic atmosphere. The story is cliché and could definitely be much better, and the pace is pretty slow but I did watch the whole ten episodes in the end. I missed this kind of show, got tired of horror that tries to shake you and get you almost sick. There are still many gore scenes in this, beware, but nothing that made me want to turn my screen off. Halfway into the show, there's a revelation which I didn't expect but liked, and the ending was pretty good and interesting to me, part of it reminded me of an older show that I liked. Maybe better casting for some of the characters could have been done but it was still good.

The issues and character lines are so relatable. I love the humour which is doesn't revolve around absurd, over the top situations, instead it's about common family and relationship situations. I haven't liked the main character in a sitcom as much as I like Jean in a long while, and I relate so much to the daughter who's sensitive and cares about everyone while she hides her own emotions not to be a burden to them. I also know people like Celia, the social media influencer, and the son who's used to using the mom...Watching this in September and I love the fashion and decor in the show, too. Planning to buy myself some of Jean's patterned shirts...The plot was not exactly top in some episodes but this show is still such a treat, I binged on it! Wish it was still running!

It's the story of a reality-TV star. That kind of role looks fake and disturbing on many actors but the lead here (Kim. Riedle) pulled it off exceptionally well. She managed to make her character believable and human. The acting from all actors were on spot, actually...The script is solid, plays out like an American movie intended for big screen, having some of its clichés like the "evil" characters. It shows the ugly side of reality entertainment in a quite entertaining way without sugarcoating it. It also shows the glamour of it mixed with family drama playing in a common neighborhood. The story is nothing too exciting or groundbreaking but makes for a good watch.
