Timothy Hutton and Henry Thomas look the same age lol.


That threw me off.

I have no clue why they have Thomas playing young Hugh and Hutton playing old Hugh.

I honestly had to look it up on IMDB to see if they were the same character of if Hutton was like a step-father or something.

They are about 10 years apart.

I guess they wanted the kids to be grown up to a certain age and Thomas just didn't look old enough.

Thomas is in a lot of the directors movies. He felt the need to cast him in this too I guess. He did a great job IMO. I actually think they probably should have made him look older to play old Hugh. I feel like the part of Hugh was written with him in mind. Not that Hutton did a bad job, there was just a difference in their acting styles and I feel like the character fit Thomas better.

I liked Apostle. It was maddening but good. The ending was a surprise.

This is a show I really liked, but I could totally see how some people might get turned off by it.

Yep. It really was a well done show. But if someone goes into it expecting and wanting American Horror Story, they're going to be very disappointed. It's more psychological thriller and drama. But it is very good. One of the best made shows I've seen this year.

I actually loved the Liam Neeson film that gets panned. Ok the pilot currently but it's extremely slow.

8 episodes in, and I'm loving it. They don't hold your hand to make sure you make the proper connections.

Actress who plays Theo is a smoke show. She's also a dead ringer for Gal Gadot, and you'll never catch me complaining.

The Harris Funeral Home/ Theo's Guest House exteriors are at the Whitlock Inn, in Marietta, GA. Almost got married there.

I'm through 7 episodes and this is literally the best horror series/show/movie I have watched in 2018. It's incredibly well done.

I'm 5 eps in and your timeline is too restrictive. This is an alltime great Horror series/movie/whatever you wan to compare it to. The character development, writing and acting is perfect. You absolutely FEEL not only for but what these characters are feeling. The horror is superbly built up, and the scares are never cheap. They are earned. My wife hates horror movies and such, but she can't stop watching this show. It's that fricking good.

I agree with you. Just waiting finish it out but if it continues this pace it will be the best horror tv show to this date and will be a serious major contributor to the genre.

I finished it yesterday. It was awesome. Some legit really good jump scares that got me. They had a couple that they did a really good job of having them when I was not expecting them or in a way I was not expecting them. Helps I had volume waaaaay up

Lots of good creepy/suspense scenes as well. The final episode brought everything together really well. Slow is not the right word for that episode, but it was a slower episode than the previous (not in a bad way though).

Loved the show.
