To counter another review here - it's a nonsense that a record player would have been out of place in 1980's Ireland. You don't get much view of the body of thing, but you get a nice close-up of the turntable and arm/needle, it actually looks like a pretty contemporary model for the time. I can't speak for the US or Canada but they were still very commonplace in Ireland and Britain, especially for the working class who did not have money to waste on brand new tech. We were raised to make do and mend - to repair, reuse - to not throw things away until they were beyond saving. I *still* have my 1986 record player working and in use fwiw. Besides which, the song being played is from the 60s, so even if they could afford / were inclined to get a new player it would be silly to get rid of all their old records and the means to play them, then re-buy them all in new format, that's beyond wasteful and just pointless. The idea that "everyone would have a tape deck" and LPs belong in the 1880s comes across as a very foreign, somewhat ignorant thing to be worked up about the episode for. Do not judge the episode based on a factually incorrect criticism of the opening sequence.
That aside, the episode itself is pretty good. One of the best monster of the weeks in a while. I've missed the older episodes that were much more based in mythology and folklore. It's a bonus that's it's pretty local folklore for me haha. The casting is disability inclusive without it feeling too token (a main guest character is deaf thanks to the banshee scream; her actress is also deaf), the writing is focused, the soundtrack fits. The CGI banshee is a bit silly looking but tbh that's my only criticism. Good solid standalone episode.
