This is a stylish, spooky piece of work, with some original twists that give it a little more punch than your average flick.
-
With 10 hours to fill, the pacing occasionally slows to a bleary stumble (an ongoing Netflix issue) and plausibility seldom rears its head. Yet this bingeable teenage fever dream is never less than entirely creepy – like a ghost story that sounds absurd as you are taking it in but still keeps you awake half the night.
-
The dialogue has a lifelike flow and the production is unusually naturalistic for a scary story; the small-town scenes, with Sasha and Yvonne and TJ and Frank, feel only a step or two away from documentary. Indeed, those characters are vivid enough to sustain a series on their own, without the hocus-pocus. ... The series' deliberate pace works best at the beginning, when we are being shown the lay of the land, and less well toward the end when one might want it to hurry up and get where it's going.
-
The ambition is admirable. Episodes will jump forward and backward in time, teasing out elements of story in ways not often seen on television, and helping to keep the endless J.J. Abrams-style mystery-box tactics of the show from getting overly tiresome.
