I watched the first half, gonna watch second half in the next month or two.

why did you link this site?

if you wanted to read reviews of someone who was blogging about the series' since 1987.

Oh, I've seen plenty of reviews I just wanted to talk to someone about it

I guess I should say "I can't find anyone I know who has also seen it"

my initial reactions are that it's a bit tryhard in terms of its attempts to look and sound modern, the atmospheric tension seems very forced and contrived at times, and often the payoff seems low, but again I haven't watched the second half of the season yet.

lol I wonder if by the end you'll think it's overwritten or underwritten. I won't spoil but a lot of things that seem minor come to payoff in huge ways later on. But it's completely unexpected because a lot of weaker writing you mentioned makes you think they didn't really pay attention to detail.

But they did. And I can't tell if it works or not lol

I’ll hit you up when I’m done the series to share my concluding thoughts.
