Did anybody else notice the "throuple" that was nonchalantly inserted in the show by Netflix? Hartnett's sister lived at a house with another man and woman her age. At the end of the show, she and these two people have moved together to another town. I guess they could be roommates? It was blink or you'll miss it but would be on brand for Netflix.

Are we to believe that the :old hag" scenes at the Penney household weren't actually the hag, but was Maggie breaking and entering to frick with Wade and get his bed all wet (and not in the cool way) and steal a ring? I feel like I either missed something fairly obvious, or that just made no sense whatsoever.


This is indefensible writing. I was at first of the belief that the Squid’s toxins made you hallucinate. Which could’ve made for some really cool and creepy moments.

But you’re telling me, that Maggie went all the way over to snooks arm in the middle of the night, twice, and randomly chose wade to creep into the window and bang? Wtf?

Didn't it show the floor wet after that episode?
It was all just too disjointed. The whole island family was strange and seemed pointless.

I saw that but I just assumed they were friends only with the couple

Just started watching this series , seems like it’s got a decent first episode. Some are saying it trails off, but I’ll give it a shot.

I haven’t seen this guy much since Penny Dreadful, which was like 10 years ago. Dude just pops up and does great stuff and then I don’t see him for a while.

Episodes 1-4 were awesome but it really fell flat the last two I don't know how you go from this great mystery thriller to that ending

It went off the rails after the submarine dive but it's worth watching

Abandon ship now. Do something else with your time. Seriously.

It's a quick easy watch - I'd keep going just for the cinematography and landscapes

Ep. 2 seems like a chaotic mess. Like a bunch of unrelated mystery box nonsense that’s tossed in a blender.

And for no damn reason.

* Ya got a video of a monster, a video set up to show the town meeting…. But nah. Just let the whole room full of local idiots start yammering like a bunch of kids on sugar and don’t show them anything. Great call.

** Forced drama via not saying the simplest things. Cheap & lame. Boyfriend loses an engagement ring, says nothing to the gf.

Loan shark issues? Really?.
What’s so awful is they had a decent story here and then they started throwing everything else along with the kitchen sink for absolutely no reason.

Lol- it hasn't even gone off the rails yet. You're still in the "good" episodes.

I was going to post this exact thing. Don't start complaining yet! Save your hatred for the last two episodes.

I don’t understand why they’re adding all this circumstantial drama. They had a good, albeit carbon copy of Lake Placid, which I thought was pretty damn good.

* This reminds me of Mad Libs, but with different directors & writers or something. Start with a basic premise, and then the next person adds something completely irreverent and out of left field, but then works into the main story.
