As many have pointed out, this show is relentlessly amateur. Very silly happenings, often with the most overly dramatic music and unearned gravitas.
The kids play theater for a black and white portion that could have been done well, but doubled down on the campiness instead, and ended with a twist that didn't make sense. All of it culminated in an equally shallow apology (because there are plenty of clearly deplorable things that people claim to "love"--it's not self-authenticating).
Many other Flanagan shows are pure works of art, and I recommend them: Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and Haunting of Hill House.
