No doubt about it, this was one of the best horror tv shows I have ever seen. Netflix has produced some real stinkers, but this is definitely not one of them. Intelligent, suspenseful, creepy, at times even heartbreaking. The red room reveal was truly original. I've seen some reviews complaining about the fact that they took it in a different direction than the source novel. I read the novel and seen the 1963 movie (several times) and personally I don't see anything wrong with that. If that's what you're looking for then just go watch the original. I don't know what the purpose would be in simply recreating something that's already been done. JMHO.
Beyond the supernatural this is a show about the dynamics of a family drama and how things experienced when they were very young affected and influenced what they have become. I don't want to give away too much but this is one of those shows you really have to pay attention to. There are so many times that things, instead of being in the forefront, are lurking in the background both figuratively and literally.
TV in general and Netflix specifically have, in the past, produced some really inane stuff geared toward the short attention span of the new age iphone audience. This is most assuredly not one of them.
