Has anybody seen this show? I just watched the first episode and I am very, VERY intrigued. A small, tight cast of characters in a slow-burn, atmospheric as hell supernatural mystery. This isn't a horror show, but it gives off a pervasive uneasiness, like waiting for a pin to drop.

Obviously, the show could tank after the first ep, but this was a STRONG start. I'm so glad that Netflix makes international stuff like this available. I don't recommend watching the trailer, as what I recall of it felt vaguely spoiler-y.

I spoke too soon. After three episodes, I'm dumping this. The show is more interested in making the mystery more complex than actually exploring the characters. Its method of advancing the plot is keeping anyone from communicating with each other... which would be fine, if I could understand their motivations for never sitting down and talking. But I don't. Oh, I can surmise based on character archetypes, but there's no real interiority being explored. Bummer. This could have been a really good show.

I guess this is a lesson to temper my expectations before jumping onto something.
