Don't understand all the negative reviews. Into the 4th episode now, and it's held my attention from the beginning. A good psychological thriller loosely (loosely being the operative word here) based on a true event.

Once again, another promising Ryan Murphy project, falling into the same old trap of starting strong and ending in shreds.

Frankly speaking, I think Murphy should seriously consider caring less about how charming a set looks and pay more attention to the storyline, assuring that it does make an iota of sense.… Expand

I mean just don't read them? assuming it's probably a joke after a while especially when there are no sign of real danger?
The beginning was kinda promising with all the weird neighbours, which cant help being annoying for apparently (and by the end truly) no reason.
You will finish it only to get to an upsetting ending.… Expand

Unfortunately there's too many convenient coincidences and times when you're confused as to why the main characters aren't looking into a certain lead or not asking the obvious questions when they arise. If the writers ironed out some of those rough spots in the story I believe this would have been one of my favorite mini series that would have been on the same level with Harlan Coben's mystery thrillers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do not know what these people reviewing this are talking about. The first 6 episodes are not very good. Not scary, bad writing, bad acting. The 7th and 8th episode are what the whole series should have been. I'd say the ending is worth the watch. Welcome to a show that doesn't have an ending but produces multiple scenarios for it to go. But we will never know.… Expand
