This show has incredibly high ratings for a psychological thriller / horror. For the life of me, I cannot understand why.
Part of me believes it's because users either pick up on or read about it's relationship to Dante's Inferno. Part of me believes that people don't know what to consider good when it comes to this category.
However I'm going to spell out for you why within one scene - it's ridiculous.
Episode 6. Dan is reviving this long lost tapes and he's put some things together about Kaelego, the cult, Melody and the bs of LMG. As he's re-watching the final tape again to put together the story, an alien like figure (presumably Kealego) starts to make its way out of the television itself.
Dan freaks and takes a massive wrench to not one but four televisions. Working to stop the demon / god from entering the room. I mean smashing thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
What would YOUR next move be? Personally, I see a demon / god coming out of a television screen I'm running as far away from it as possible. As would any other logical human being on the planet.
But Dan? Nahhhhhh. He decides to head down to the basement archive, sheepishly smash his wrench into plastic case VHS (not going to do any damage - which you'd think an archivist would know how to destroy tapes right?) and pushing over the cases of tapes. There he discovers a crawl space covered with mold that leads to basement....: and heads right on down there.
That's not happening - humans have base instincts and we would run.
I love horror films, I love thinking of things unthinkable..... I would watch Nightmare on Elm Street a million times over this over wrought rubbish. IMO (which is just that) the writers forgot to think about how people would react and respond naturally and forced characters to do what no one would.
The acting for the most part was also abysmal, aside from the lead.
1/10 - I said what I said. Painful.
