New, British show that premiered last week on Prime. I am on the 5th episode currently (there are 6 total), and it has been fantastic so far. While the title would seem to imply this is of the horror genre (there are certainly elements of horror sprinkled throughout), I'd classify this as more of a thriller. My review is going to be devoid of too much detail due to not wanting to spoil anything, but I would strongly recommend this show to anyone. It does start off a bit slow and slightly confusing, but everything will start becoming clearer by the 2nd episode or so. Reviews appear to be solid for this show, although chatter online about it is minimal.

I'll allow Wikipedia to provide the synopsis, as I am having trouble providing one without spoiling some aspects of the show.

"Lucy is a social worker dealing with family and relationships woes. She wakes every night at exactly 3:33 AM, after experiencing terrifying visions during the so-called devil's hour between 3 AM and 4 AM. Her eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless. Her mother speaks to empty chairs. Her house is haunted by the echoes of a life that is not her own. Lucy's name is inexplicably connected to a string of brutal murders in the area, and she is drawn into the a hunt for a serial killer."

Binged the whole series in a couple of days. The wife and I really enjoyed it.

Watched it all in one sitting.

Damn good series.

Tons of puzzle pieces fall into place at the end. Impressive bit of writing.

I enjoyed this but was slightly let down by the end.

At first I thought it was a 6-part mini series and that was it, but RT says, "Season 1" ?


My main gripe was this build-up of Gideon knowing what was going to happen and having rational reasons for doing X Y Z, and then he suddenly pivots and says Isaac is an anomaly and shouldn't exist. Why? What does he care? He hasn't said that he hurts anyone or causes death wherever he goes, so why is he wrapped up in his story? It only makes sense if he was trying to move him to some other world for the sake of fixing a big mistake.

Perhaps they get to that if there is a season 2, but it lost me a bit there at the end
