Somehow I missed out on this but it looks to be right up my alley.

Legit?

Board dug it when it was first released?

Excellent show, can be a little slow at times but definitely delivers towards the end.

Absolutely. You’re going to question why you’re watching through the first 2-3 episodes but man, when shite hits the fan, it’s a fun wild ride. It’s great

I loved it, but think he has some serious plot holes. Hamish Linklater was excellent.

It's pretty good along with the other Mike Flanagan series.

I actually really enjoyed this show. Plus it has a bunch of bangin Neil Diamond tracks sprinkled in.

It's good stuff. Like others have said, it can drag at times, but it picks up nicely in the second half.

Absolutely yes. Slight slow burn in the beginning, however that is the setup for the story.

Slow start. A lot of existential debate that becomes fairly inconsequential.

We got 1 episode in and were underwhelmed for it to be Mike Flanagan.

With the series having been canceled by Netflix, is the one season worth it without being plagued by cliffhangers?

Huh?

It wasn't canceled, it is a self-contained mini-series ala Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manner. The ending of the season concludes the story.

And personally yes, its worth it IMO. It's a slower build and slower burn at times but I think it is the second-best thing he's done for Netflix.

But all of that and everyone else's opinions aren't necessarily going to translate to your tastes. All I can say is the first couple of episodes are mostly foundation-setting and aren't as naturally captivating as later episodes, but the show has some of the best moments in Flanagan's work IMO.

Anything Mike Flanagan writes, directs, and edits is always worth a watch

It wasn't cancelled. It is a mini-series. You have to approach it like a very long movie. The first several episodes are setup for the insanity of the second half. I find that it (and Midnight Club) have a very M. Night feel. Slow burn, moral driven, until the twist hits and insanity ensues.
