There’s definitely something weird going on and it gave me “From” vibes
If you look past the insufferable lead child actor, you’re treated to Yvonne Strahovski, who has been a powerhouse actress on The Handmaid’s Tale. The second episode was definitely the hook and definitely had me intrigued.
I want to see where the episode goes
I feel the need to binge-watch it, if only they had released more episodes for a clear first season. I wouldn’t be surprised if the show got boring because the script isn’t that great, but the actors did their best.
The show would be scarier if the child actor wasn’t so insufferable
I wish someone like Mike Flanagan was behind this because the child actor definitely needs to develop his talent. The final season of “What We Do in the Shadows” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
