So rubbish, don't bother! Not scary, not dark .. just down right zzzzzz


This has got to be one of the worst series I've watched in years & years! It lacks in everything I deem worthy of an addictive back to back show! It's bs, it's ridiculous, it's v v v in creepy or scary! A waste of investor & production money! Ditch it, I seriously hope they don't waste time money or effort in a second series! Pppffft just awful full Stop

Best TV show at the moment. More please lots more.

If you truly think that is the best show at the moment, then you truly lack anything resembling taste.

Why are you being so rreaking rude? Just because you don't like it, no one else should either? Try being a bit more tactful.

Story in a nutshell.
1 of twin, got evil power, created a TV show Candle Cove on a dead channel. Kids are watching, acting weird. "My daughter is here" "Where did my daughter disappear to" "Oh there's my dead twin brother" "oh there're glimpses of ghosts here and there, but I'm too cool to get scared."
"I'm about to kill damn it was a dream" "I'm about to get killed, damn dream again"
"Die you not-a-main-character!" "teacher is influencing kids, catch her, shoot her." "Please don't be evil twin. Evil twin-I will be." "I'm finally dead. Now we can live together evil twin" The end.

story in a nutshell
of the movie The Ring:

Crazy girl is tortured and murdered, she then makes a magical videotape that shows a bunch of things that don't make sense and if you watch that videotape your face looks distorted in photos and then if you don't make a copy of the tape and show someone else the video, you get a phone call and the dead girl comes out of the tv and you die.

Sounds awful, how could anyone like that's or think it was creepy or scary?

I enjoyed the show a lot. I guess one person's "Not scary, not dark..just down right zzz" is another person's "a slow and atmospheric horror that wisely prefers to present viewers a subtle, creepy, lingering mystery instead of relying on jump scares and gore."


Anyways, outside of the mention of double dream sequences, I'm not sure atarpollard's "Story in a nutshell" even makes the show sound particularly bad. The show still sounds fairly original. i.e.- T.V. show...on a dead channel" or "teacher is influencing the kids". Please correct me if I'm wrong (preferably with specific examples), but I don't think there are a lot of examples of horror movies or television shows (mainstream or otherwise) that have these things.

You are a total twat.

reply

Totally agree.

Sorry you're not enjoying it. I think its fantastic - creepy, spooky...love it!

I seriously hope they don't waste time money or effort in a second series!
A second series is already in the works and it will be money well spent. I don't care what anybody says, the Skin Taker is one of the scariest things I've seen in a long while.

It was kind of boring and not at all scary. The main actor was not a very good actor either, which only made it worse.
I will give the next season a chance though since it has new characters and plot.

reply

Actually he is a very good actor in this series and overall. I'm guessing you think Emma Roberts deserves an Oscar nomination for Nerve.

reply

Dang it kittykitkat you have a remote...CHANGE THE DANG CHANNEL!!!! There's bound to be something else on that interests you, and if not, Netflix or YouTube. Your complaining won't get results here.

Eddie's little hellish universe left me wanting more. I would love a book version of this anthology with more detail and more weird imagery. What else is behind those other doors and what does Eddie do in that hellish demension when he is not masquerading as the twisted tooth fairy on earth. I know he spends part of that time watching the people of Iron Hill on his tv. Now poor Mike has to stay for eternity with him.

I disagree. It's quite freaky. To each his own. Nobody is forcing you to watch it.

reply

It is a great series.

reply

Only thing i see in posts like this are trolls and thats it for someone who doesnt like a show that much you sure wasted alot of effort to come on here and bash it. go watch something else and quit wasting your and everyone elses time moaning.

reply

I've only watched one episode so far, and I enjoyed it very much.

Would be boring if we all had the same taste, though. Imagine everyone in the world wearing the same clothes! ;P
