What channel is it on?
Watched 2 episodes, well written and good acting but far too slow for a horror.
Finished it. Really liked it. Solid 8
Haven't watched it yet, but am I wrong in assuming its more of a thriller than a horror?
dude how do you guys watch a whole show so fast? Do you binge watch?
Is it really horror? Asking for a friend
It’s the good kind of horror where you care about the characters so you don’t want bad things happening to them. Also the few scares that are there are good because tension is built up
The scream of Nell’s ghost in the car (when Theo and Shirley were arguing) was incredible. I won’t deny it had me jumping in the bed. One of the best jump scares I have seen in a while.

It’s deeper than just a standard horror. People expecting jump scare after jump scare will not like it. It is beautifully crafted slow burner. Best show after Better Call Saul.

Maybe I should give it another go and continue then lol.
Outstanding show, a solid 9 / 10 can't see myself giving it anything less then that. By far the best Horror story of 2018 by a country mile across movies and TV shows, episode 6 alone wins that gong which was conveyed almost via a single take.
Themes include mental illness, guilt, fear and generational trauma, all conveyed through in-depth character studies and world building which repeatedly emphasises terror, additionally there are jump scares to but if that's all you look for then watch The Nun instead. Most haunted house stories are self-contained but this was a little different in that regard and I really loved the narratives unique structure without going into too much detail. The camera work by the director was superb, always kept me on edge due to the hauntingly subtle and intense sequences. It was very evident the team who produced this put in a great deal of detail into their work even at the minuscule levels and never wasted a single scene.
There has been talk of this series continuing in an anthology format, the next show could be about a different family or there could be a haunting of a different environment rather then a house. But rest assured we are in safe hands because the director / writer Mike Flanagan is a student of the genre and a master of his craft, very few have a horror resume which compares to his impressive track record at the moment and the consistency has to be appreciated given how rare it is. Flanagan will also be directing Stephen King's Doctor Sleep which is a sequel to The Shining novel, fantastic news; especially for those who are familiar with the book, unlike Kubrick, am sure Flanagan will do Stephen King justice.

Going to give it a watch. Hope it doesn't scare the pants out of me though and give me sleepless nights.
How often does netflix take down shows? I'm planning on getting netflix in december, will it be on around that time?

I disagree with the best horror story of the year part. Hereditary was my favourite movie of the year

well its a tv show not a movie - TBH, there havnt been many good horror tv shows before, so its not hard to make the best one.

Last episode was pretty disappointing though. Episodes 4. 5 and 6 were the peak of the show
On beginning of Episode 4, it's okay, don't see what the fuss is about.
Maybe you don't understand it?
That must be it.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, binge watched it the day it came out
Ok then I will persevere to the end, hopefully if 8 still don't get the fuss, you can explain it, if you have the time and inclination.
Will check it out for sure, looking for a good horror series since I've really struggled to find one.
If anyone has any recommendations for horror TV shows then I'd appreciate it. Only one that I've tried watching recently was American Horror Story but it was more weird and uncomfortable rather than thought provoking and terrifying.
There are many sub-genre's in horror and this can be defined as a psychological horror, it's thought provoking and creates tension through all the suspense, there are some jump scares but it's not over-loaded with them. There seems to be a stereotype that to be classified as a horror you need jump scares every second but that's just not true. Give this a go mate you will love it.
Another psychological horror would be The Returned (Les Revenants), worth a watch and some of the earlier seasons of American Horror Story were pretty decent to be fair. Then you have Stranger Things, Walking Dead, Bates Motel, Ash v Evil Dead etc but you've probably watched most of those.
