Absolute brilliance and creepy as hel

Rewatching this gem of a show I needed to praise this first episode so much. These 50min accomplish what most TV shows cannot do a full season, and it does it in a creepy, scary, and stunningly brilliant way.

This is better than any scary movie I have seen for years, the acting blow most Marvel productions out of the water, and the creepy music and hunting feel of this episode is beyond great. Yes, the show falter towards the end, but most of this show, and this episode specifically is among the best you can find.

For what it is, and for what it intends to do this is a 10/10 and I highly recommend.
