I'll give this show a 9 for the first season and a 2 for the 2nd. That's how terrible the drop-off is.The first season is creepy, weird, scary and especially, intriguing. You want to know who these people are, what their back story is and what will happen to them and to the town. Very good acting for the most part combined with bleak landscape and ominous music made me feel compelled to watch this season obsessively and with interest. When it finally ends you feel exhausted, as spent as the characters seem to be. Great season!In fact, so much so that I hesitated to watch the 2nd season, so weary in a way was I of the grim happenings I had witnessed. But watch I did, or rather, the first 3.1 episodes only. A horrible let down, a story line that holds little interest, a seeming rehash of the first season with no compelling story line and characters that were good initially given nothing to work with and the bad ones given enough to show how bad they are. Awful! Skip season 2.

This is such a great show! I would describe it as a sci-fi British 'Fargo'. I'm on season 1 and I can't stop binge- watching it late into the night. Michael Gambon is amazing and you can never go wrong with Stanley Tucci!! I'm kind of annoyed that I have to write 5 lines of text just for a review. It looks like I have that amount but apparently IMDb still isn't satisfied with what I've got. Ugh!!!

First series was really good and kept you on your toes as to what was going to happen next. The second series went a bit silly but still you wanted to know what was going to happen. Rather annoyed that they never made a another series as we are all left wondering what happened as it ended on a good cliff hanger. No point watching as you don't know what will happen and your always left wondering.
