1/10
Hilariously bad.

I had high hopes for this, not enough good horror tv shows anymore and the 90s vibe with this kinda story looked really promising but it clearly was more into getting multiple series by stretching every little thing, making every episode pretty uneventful or stupid. It was so forced in places, the writing is genuinely terrible and most bits seemed just cut/copied from other films.

Ignoring the face the cast a really poor lead, the woman from two and a half men was awful in this, genuinely poor and it hurt the show a lot, she had one face for every emotion, most of the adults except CR were poor actors but the characters were all pretty stupid anyway.

They just lazily make jumps and expect viewers just to accept and go along with it, one girl has magical powers, one girls suddenly so stubborn she'll freeze to death, one can get ravaged by a wolf and randomly survive when her friends start cremating her. It's idiotic.

Not a chance I watch series 2, that Lottie character is abysmal and ridiculous but the one plot that was even worse was the kidnap one, senseless, plus she let her go then she stayed anyway only to get released again and meet her demise, it was awful.

The reveal of the psychotic behaviour was no shock but I also don't believe people can live in a house unaware of a room that size. The relationships are easily broken. They're all brittle and have no chemistry.

The Adam character sucked. The child was really weird about how she chose to deal with it, the leads just a complete piece of trash in every way, there's not one person you'd route for, except maybe Natalie, but her adult version is too hard to like.

This would've been better with one long series, 15-18 episodes and done. But instead we get this unfocused directionless mess with awful characters and no real pay off. Just idiotic bears.

It's not a thriller, it's not a horror it's barely 90s style.

It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
