The prose was so purple and so Godlessly un-poetic especially towards the end that I have huge reservations as to how it achieved it's outstanding IMDB score.
The dialogue undermined the performances, the time lines undermined the coherency and the daytime soap aspects completely ruined several episodes. Episode 6 had the worst acting from the adults, it was so painful at times.
Nope, the past should have been bigger, the present should have been a mere fraction and the cunty behaviour between the family in the present should have been toned right down.
It wasn't a horror show. That was 75% familial drama and 25% ghost story. I could have done with knowing that from the get go.
