The show starts out slow, as ghost stories go. It builds over episodes 2 and 3, Near the end of 4 you have it figured out so it is just a matter of the delivery. Sadly, the painfully long delivery is 4.5 hours away and just becomes repetitively mind-numbing.
Its sad because it has good acting but it's a perfect 2 hour movie stretched into a 9 hour mini-series. So slow, so painful, and so drawn out. As it wrapped, I did think of it as an extremely long and slightly scary version of Edward Scissorhands, as such that it is a story, perhaps a fable to be told through the ages. If only it were the length of that movie then we could have had a very interesting story to tell.
