I thoroughly enjoyed season 1. It was nothing groundbreaking, but it was good. Interesting characters, imperfect but solid pacing, and a captivating story. Season 2 dragged a bit, but I still enjoyed it to some degree. Then season 3 came. Nine episodes in and a week before the finale, and the show still has more questions than answers. Basically no answers at all, if you really think about it. I believe that it’s entirely about their PTSD, and there’s nothing supernatural going on at all. The show hints at this at the beginning of S3E7, when the demonic creature sounds are revealed to be a species of frog. That’s the extent of tangible proof right there. Everything else has just devolved into total subliminal nonsense with pacing that could put anyone to sleep. How did this show become such a slog? We’re talking about 90 percent filler spread across 9 episodes. One of them (S3E7) was brilliantly done, but I’d be really surprised if this gets renewed. It’s no ratings Goliath by any stretch of the imagination, and the buzz around it is from die-hard fans would could be served shit on a silver platter and eat it up. I really liked the show at one point, but I cannot see myself coming back for more. What are your thoughts on the show overall?
