It starts out creepy, then gets repetitive, then ends on a note that doesn’t answer any of the series’ many questions, but does leave an emotional impact.
-
Depending on one’s predisposition, he or she will be convinced, or not, by the way events are presented in this Apple production.
-
With such intimate access to the people and material, the lack of interest in what lay beneath the surface is disappointing. The Enfield Poltergeist hints that what appears to be supernatural could be an all‑too-natural manifestation of the emotional turmoil that was happening in that house. If you don’t already believe in ghosts, it is unlikely to haunt you.

At its best, The Enfield Poltergeist, a four-part documentary series on Apple TV+, is a clever and powerful piece of television. Unfortunately, it takes three hours to get there.
