  Netflix cancelled this show on a cliffhanger; I cancelled my subscription.

  What I liked about this show was that the best friend wasn't totally useless.  He is the rational one but wants to believe and help his friend(protagonist).  He's concerned for him in a very real way.  He's not totally apart from the story, he's an integral part.  He brings important info from his research and eventually, after seeing the evidence, believes what's going on.  This is TOTALLY unlike every other "friend" character in other horror movies/shows, who are incredibly stupid, useless, and one dimensional.  At the end he is totally involved and important.  It's incredibly refreshing and all it takes is smart writing for these type of characters to not be irrelevant.

  I really appreciated the lovecraftian elements in this without it going over the top. Although personally I wish the images of the monster weren’t so clear, I think it’s scarier as just a dark entity that we can imagine for ourselves

  "Recent hit Netflix series" Netflix cancels it. Like do they even pay attention at all?

  pretty good. probably my biggest complaint was when they showed the creature in the static early on. it would have been creepier if they didnt make it do the close up boo scare where you can see it more clearly. if they had just left it as a vaguely defined figure in the static and then cut off it would have been much creepier. it was a case of showing just a bit too much too early, and the boo scare felt a little cheap in what is otherwise a very slick and well made mystery

  So thrilled to see a great podcast horror/mystery show get picked up and turned into a Netflix series. This could lead to a bunch of cool new shows if studios start optioning horror podcasts.

  I liked that Dan(te) was led into the entire thing by Virgil, a cool reference to Inferno and the circles of hell

  I think the point is Dan and Mel act as “twin comets” and are meant to break away in order to permanently break the barrier. What exactly that entails, who knows but I am excited to see what comes next. I definitely agree that Sam must have known and him and Virgil have much bigger plans. I always enjoy your reviews and am grateful you did this one.
