    Took a few episodes for this one to grab me. I felt like the comedy really undercut the horror, and wasn’t funny enough to justify that. But around the third or fourth episode they seemed to get the balance right. Either that, or I got to caring about the characters enough that it mattered less. Either way, I was won over by the midpoint, so definitely recommend.

      I’m on episode 2 and i found it to be sort of boring so far and not very interesting but I am on a horror kick and coming from watching From. I was hoping it would be scarier by now but after reading our comment I am looking forward to the next few episodes.

        Episodes 2 & 3 got me in. It’s more like comedy reactions to horror situations. Makes sense Hiro Murai directed a lot Atlanta

        Part of it is definitely that I found Patricia much more interesting than Loftis, and she didn’t get much focus until episode 4. I wouldn’t say it ever gets as scary as you get from, say, a Mike Flanagan series. The humour is always a component, but it detracts a lot less from the horror atmosphere as things progress.
