Suspenseful ... dark ... and creepy
5 July 2023
Who the crap cares if this starts slow ... it's how suspenseful dark drama should be done. A slow churn of the BBQ ribs .... This slowly trickles out breadcrumbs and never tells you what's going on. But ... you can't leave the TV. You can't turn away from the show. Every turn in the ships corridors. Every twist of shadows from reality to alternate realities. Every time you think you know what might happen the story changes again. Setting this story at the turn of the 20th century on a ship was brilliant. There is no way out. You can't run. You can't hide on the ship. The layers are slowly peeled back like an onion. Until you reach the moment of despair and frantic dread that these characters you have invested on n are not real. None of this is real. Until the end. Then the series really starts and wonder ... am I real? Is the is reality or something else I cannot comprehend?

Why this show was cancelled blows my mind. Give it to HBO. They will do it right.
