Where vengeance resides.
A series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community, and Detective Lois Tryon feels they are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her.

Well, if you've seen American Horror Story, that's pretty much what you're getting. Some seasons of AMS really work for me, others really not so much. I find when Ryan Murphy tries to play with his formula he mostly fumbles it. Niecy Betts is an excellent lead and it's good to see her with the space to round a character out - she's truly really good in this and backed by a strong supporting cast, Goodwin and Diamond in particular. I enjoy camp, but about half way through the season there's an absolutely senseless, anachronistic and frankly painful musical number, that had me absolutely cringe - I felt embarrassed for the cast members involved. To follow this up, Murphy tries to flip the script and introduce a clumsy twist - is it a dream? Jesus, really? Half way through the season? Ok, if you're going to start the series with this kind of premise, but introducing it after stakes and investment are built? Clumsy, clumsy, clumsy. I very nearly gave up on it entirely at this point, but thought I'd stick it out. This could have come in as maybe an 8/10, a strong 7 at least, but cheers - that was some time I spent.
Read the whole review on TMDBI'm only two episodes in but there are aspects of this show I'm not liking. One is the woman at the hospice and the other is the nun, not so much the nun, but the fact that she is being given all these details about an ongoing serial murder case, on a whim. Then there's the other issue, that our lead protagonist never seems phased by what she sees but literally everyone else is disturbed to the point of barfing everywhere. It wouldn't be an issue if they didn't INSIST on showing everyone disturbed all the time and someone barfing all the time. _You're contaminating a crime scene. Get a barf bag or !@#$ off._ Them (2021) Season 2 did this better. I'm still not sure if we're supposed to believe the antagonist is supernatural or not since we've now seen "someone" in the protagonist's house MULTIPLE times. I don't need my hand held but I need !@#$ to make some kinda sense.
