I like it - on the last episode and going to say the rest for tomorrow
SPOILER
——————————————-
Not much of a spoiler but I think the show is really pretty good but why in this day and age can’t they either use some effects or do makeup on a younger person and make them look like a true old person? It was obvious the 2 folks they ‘aged’ weren’t really old people and I knew it from the first time I saw them on screen.

Just finished. 6.5/10
The entire series felt like a rip off of 30 Days of Night and Jeepers Creepers.
**Spoilers**
It's like they started out wanting to go in the same direction as The Haunting of Hill House but in the middle of it decided to go down something completely different and random.
First 3-4 episodes were really good. Thinking it was going to be a solid 9/10 or 10/10.
Then the twist coming out that it's a damn vampire trying to take over the world ruined it for me.
It was so..... Anticlimactic and cheap.
It had it's moments but there were so many unnecessary long monologues.

Also finished last night and
*****spoilers*****
That last episode was fricking awful. Like, what the frick was that? "I am paralyzed again, and everyone I've ever known, and my town has just burned to ashes." I don't mind unhappy endings but Jesus Christ. That was the most directionless, choppy, pointless ending I've ever seen in a show.
I'm not even going to get into things they never explained and plotholes because there were about as many as were in that angel's wings at the end.

The premise seems pretty obvious however, an albatross has followed Matt saracen to the island in the form of a priest and is going to give him problems until he can rid himself of his guilt
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!
This was my initial guess, especially with all the boats and the water and the lack of fish, but after episode 3 I’m thinking it’s more Bram Stoker than Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

It gets better and better as I keep watch. Def enjoying it. Still it kind of bothers me how it seems like nobody has seen a vampire movie before. Wtf
The few people that actually know what's happening have blinders on I guess. I'm just waiting for someone to bring this up at some point. Feels like that may not happen tho idk.

Exactly this, should've just ended on the previous episode.

I have to admit that this got on my nerves too. While the word "vampire" is never used during the entire series, you'd think that somebody would've figured it out sooner.

I’m not reading through the thread until I finish this, but just popping in to say I’m really digging this so far. Just finished episode 5, and that final scene on the boat is chilling. That’s going to stick with me for awhile. Flanagan is something special.

Loved the first few episodes.
HATED the last few....very uncomfortable with the anti=Christian vibe . Terrible ending.

I didn’t hate the ending but I was waiting for the revelation that it wasn’t an angel at all, but just a vampire who couldn’t give a shite less about the priest and all of the religious ceremony and just wanted a town to feed on and the priest just projected his own religious beliefs onto it.
Also, I’m assuming when the girl said she couldn’t feel her legs that that meant the angel died. Right? The magical properties of its blood died with it?

That’s what I gathered from it
Surprised to see all the hate. I thought it was great. As a Christian it did get pretty uncomfortable and dark towards the end and kinda made me feel dirty for watching and I’m far from one of those “Harry Potter is the devils work” people. I think that’s what Flanagan’s goal was though and it worked.
It’s a scary thought that you grow up on this island community as a devout Christian, studying the Bible, attending church, and truly trusting in your priest for guidance. Then these miracles start happening and make you believe that the island is being blessed and something amazing is happening, only for the angel to really be a demon and a false prophet and he’s successfully tricked and killed everyone on the island by playing into their religion. I took the angel to be more of an anti-Christ than a vampire
I do agree there are plot holes and some things are left unexplained. I wish they would have explained where the vampire/demon came from for one. And I wish the priest would have taken more accountability at the end and done more to stop it. All he did was just walk off with his dead daughter and pretty much said “I now see this is wrong but it’s to late so good luck everybody” Thought the ending was great with everyone singing, and have no beef with almost everyone dying. In fact, I think more horrors should have unhappy endings (jeepers creepers, the mist) because chances are if something like that happens, it ain’t gonna end pretty
Also wish Bevs death would have been worse, frick that bitch

I mean, not one person on that show can say “hey, these aren’t angles, nor are they works from God, they are demons”?
Too much dialogue. I wanted to tell Riley to man up and quit being weak.

If there is a sequel (next season) and the Mayor survived and somehow gets re-elected, I am going to be livid!

I thought that was incredibly clear without being specifically spoon fed to viewers who aren’t smart enough to figure it out.

I get that. I just wanted to see the characters realizing it.
Like the priest came to the realization that this wasn’t going how he envisioned it, but I’m not sure in his mind if he actually realized that he was duped or if he’s just thinking “God works in mysterious ways.”
I wanted to see the “Oh, I fricked up. I’m a vampire” moment.

I would like to see a prequel on how he got the Chief Vampire in the trunk past customs.

It's either that or the levels of vampire blood that she was taking were leveled out because she stopped drinking it and the effects stopped working. I think the doctor said something about that as well.

Just finished. Enjoyed it- I’d put it far below HoHH and on par with HoBM.
Also, Hamish Linklater deserves an Emmy for this

fricking vampires? Seriously?
I stopped watching after episode three when I realized that was the direction they were going. I had a sneaking suspicion that the creature was a vampire in the second episode when it attacked the drug dealer. But then the twist at the end of third episode kind of took me out of the show. I don't know why but stories about vampires have never been interesting to me.
