Wow. I see serious potential in this show but I am also seriously lost. I will watch the next episode and if something don't begin to get answered then I will get a little skeptical. Then again I watched all six seasons of lost so I guess I can deal with how out there this one is.

This show is my kind of freaky! Can't wait to see how this show evolves.

Another interesting episode. I didn't exactly get any of the answers I wanted but I enjoyed the episode.

Maybe I am too distracted when I watch. I really like it but you have to pay close attention to connect the dots on the underlying story.

Yes, but very briefly.

I watched the first episode last night and DVRd the new one. I was alittle dissapointed with all the hype and the commercials for this show. It is a drama!!! Not scary and not as twisted as I had hoped. I was hoping for something more like "The Cell", loved that movie. I will give it another chance and watch the next episode though.

You're right bro. It is no horror show, but it is a good drama,a freaky drama that is, but you have to like dramas if you are going to like this.

I'm a little confused by people who don't think this is a horror show, especially those who watched the first episode.

I'm glad to see a show/movie that relies on good old fashioned atmospheric horror, instead of a guy with a mask on his face running around stabbing people with a pickaxe

I found very little horror aspect to the pilot episode. The drama seemed to really slow my interest down. I can't say I don't like it so far, just that it doesn't meet my personal expectation. The previews where so wierd and creepy, the actual show is a drama with a minimul amount of horror and creepiness.:2

you did see the basement scene, yes?:noon

How much horror is in the show depends on how you define horror.

ever see the original "Don't be afraid of the Dark?"

You mean the the part where they flicker the lights really fast and flash some confusing images and then she gets scratched? Yah it was "interesting"! I am going to be harsh in my judgement towards this show because the previews built it up so much for me.

So far I am digging this show. My girlfriend loves it.

Watched the 2nd episode last night. There is just something about that draws me in. You do have to pay attention to everything going on. So, is the neighbor a prostitute? And what is up with the cupcakes?? Didn't think she had a problem with their daughter.

We're really enjoying this, as well

Well I must admit after watching the second episode I am impressed with this show. The second episode had some pretty jacked up things going on. I love it. I hope it stays interesting. Nice to see an original show that isn't on a movie channel!

Glad someone else saw that. This was the first thing I thought of when the three of them were standing in front of the mom and the daughter.

For anyone who saw last nights episode...

Didn't you think it a little odd that his mistress was killed with one blow of the shovel to the face by a burn victim that can only use one arm! I then thought it was doubly odd that he could dig a ditch 6 feet deep with one arm :confused: ....Anyway I love the show so far but thought those events was a little far fetched.

It would be odd if in fact she had been killed by one blow to the face, but I think you might have blacked out there yourself, :r

After he hits her the first time the burn dude says something like "she's still moving" and then whacks her another 10 times with the shovel.


Good episode. I'm beginning to think the burn dude is the house personified,
Like the bartender was in The Shining
