    This show has been getting rave reviews all over the place. Supposedly, it's This is Us meets the horror genre? Since it's October, can someone watch the first few episodes and let me know where all the scares are? I'm too much of a wimp to jump in first. plsandthx!

    (Series dropped 10/12)

    Binged it this weekend. Pretty good show. It has one of the best jump scares on me that I can ever remember. I cussed at the TV for a good two to three minutes after that jump scare.

    The This is Us comment almost made me stay away, that show is dumb.

    This is nothing like that. Its enjoyable so far

    I've seen about 15 minutes of This is Us combined. That description seems on point to me.

    That's just something I read in one of the reviews for the show. To be fair though, that show is critically acclaimed and nominated for a bunch of awards. Can't be all bad, riiiight?

    Yeah, it's just a passing, relevant description, and it works perfectly.

    2 episodes in and I’m finding that this is one of the most well executed horror series I’ve seen. My sister thought it was a movie when the first episode ended. Needless to say, she was pleasantly excited when episode 2 popped up. First episode is also very fast-paced; not your traditional setup episode.

    To be honest, while alot of it was good, they copied ALOT of this from American Horror Story Season 1. So I'm kinda ehhh about it.

    The only thing I've seen that's similar is that the houses were haunted.
