I started watching it back in January and gave up after a few episodes. I found that the series is all about creepy vibes and they had no intention of making a tight, satisfying mystery. When I found I didn’t care who done it or whether they would figure it out, I bailed. I spent a number of decades so sensitive to the horror genre that I would immediately turn off any show or movie that used horror elements. I’ve watched enough movies in the last couple of years, including some horror movies, that I’ve become much less sensitive. When horror scenes popped up in TD I wasn’t repelled but I didn’t feel they added to the mystery, they just made for more creepy vibes.
