I was first drawn to this series when I read someone compare it to Taboo. There some similarities for example the quality of the writing, the storytelling and the high calibre of acting. There are shades of John Carpenter's The Thing, and later on, The Shining, but it gives way to something higher, almost supernatural and spiritual. The last four episodes of this magnificent series have left me shaken and stunned and deeply moved. I can recommend this series wholeheartedly and say it is one of the best I've seen in the past years. That is up there with Breaking Bad and more recently, Mindhunter. The acting is of the highest calibre, with the performances by the almost exclusively male cast, just magnificent. Jared Harris will hopefully be rewarded come awards time, as should the series itself, its beautiful production design, score and cinematography. Just a brilliant series really. This series will linger for a very long time, in my mind.
