Summary
A kidnapping takes a turn for the strange when false memories and alternative timelines begin to intersect.
This show was the first in a long time that I binged all in one go, that speaks for itself in many ways. I thought this show was both clever and intriguing from the off, clearly there is more than meets the eye within the goings on but very much like the first season of Westworld this show gives more questions than answers, which is how you would want it to be especially considering it has been renewed for two more seasons.
I enjoyed the direction the show went in, despite it ending up in being more of a science fiction show than a horror show, which giving the title I was expecting. There are some good scares and supernatural moments, but the show later explains this all away in the final episode wherein the science fiction elements are firmly placed front and centre.
Overall, a terrific first season filled with promise.
Pros.
The acting
The original plot
It takes a lot of turns and you never quite know where it is heading
A number of good scares too
What it sets up for the second season
Cons.
It does lose more of its horror elements as the show progresses
4.5/5
