    Scary and dark. The strange story of a whaler captain with three kids meeting terrible challenges living near a town where everyone hates them. Surprising and a very different approach to a ghost story.

    Realmente la serie atrapa. La ambientación y actuaciones son muy buenas. Además la puesta en escena y la narrativa es muy decente para no ser una serie de gran presupuesto. Me está enganchando por momentos y eso son palabras mayores para una serie que compite con tanta oferta hoy en día. Espero que haya segunda temporada. Los seis capítulos que llevo visionados están realmente bien.

    Chapelwaite is more purely horror and yet somehow duller, especially in a plodding first half. If the first five episodes of Chapelwaite had been condensed to two hours and the last five episodes had been trimmed to another two, I would still say that the miniseries was a slow burn, while acknowledging that there’s schlocky fun to be had in the home stretch.

    [Chapelwaite writers/showrunners Peter and Jason Filardi] get it so right at the start, gifting audiences with a beautifully mounted period piece, grounded in excellent performances by the entire cast. But by the series’ mid-point, it’s becomes abundantly clear that there isn’t enough necessary story to fill the last five hours.
