The first episode was excellent! This is a drama, mystery, ghost story. It takes places in an old haunted house in England.
I'm an American viewer. People in Britain can't understand how Americans feel about the wonderful old buildings you have. We don't have many places like this. Old buildings are few and very rare. A building dating back to the 1800s is almost unheard of in most parts of America. But to live in a country scattered with buildings dating back centuries, filled with so much history, is something Americans can only dream about.
I love horror movies, but what I love the most are atmospheric ghostly movies that take place in old houses, on ancient land with medieval buildings, stone walls, that sort of thing. We have some great American horror classics (Poltergeist, Exorcist, etc). But a movie about an old English house can only be done properly by people who live there. And they did this one very well...at least in the first episode so far.
The story is filled with drama, a family grieving over a missing child moves to an out of the way place in the north country. In Britain, saying "in the north" means rustic and far away. Houses have names, and a house name that ends with "hall" means it will be extra cool (old and creepy).
Looking forward to the next episode!
