***Don’t read below if you haven’t watched***





What years is it set in? Wife and I thought mid-90’s but then he talked about WiFi. Is it just an outdated old island town set in today?

It’s good so far. Love the cast, it’s funny and pretty damn creepy so far. We are in!

I'm not a fan of horror, so I'll probably skip this. I got AppleTV to watch Masters of the Air. Your Friends & Neighbors and Stick are great shows

2 eps in and really enjoying it. Really deep mix of comedy and scare. Can’t say horror but it’s unique new and fun.

was like “where do I start?” they all watch all that slop on Netflix.


Even the ok shows on Apple TV are better than most of the stuff that Netflix and Amazon put out.

Been a pretty good watch so far.


[[SPOILERS (just in case)]]












And, I really really could have done without that clown. I knew what was up with BJ from Gemstones as soon as I saw him. He was too creepy.

I don't know what I was expecting but I didn't think the show was going to be like that. Wish this show would have come out in September or October. Has the perfect feel for that time of year.

I was surprised that I got some legitimate laughs from this show. It’s a combination of the lines and delivery. It’s funny!

The island has a perimeter. It’s called the ocean.

City lady setup was great. Really thought she was the hag.

Wife thinks it’s too slow. I’m enjoying it though. After the first episode I was thinking it was going to be Sean of the Dead, but after the 2nd it seems it may be a bit creepier than that. Maybe a mix of SOTD and Flanagan’s Midnight Mass? (frickin loved that show). Love the setting. A quiet island town that’s behind the times.

Yeah this show has been a lot creepier than anticipated.

Maybe the creator was inspired by Zach Cregger? Go for legit creepy and scary but also throw in completely out there comedy with some funny lines.

Having similar issues with my wife. It would help if she'd get off her damned phone when she's watching. This show really requires paying attention, because there are so many little moments of great dialog and character interaction that you miss if you're not actually focused.

I had reservations at first but it's growing on me.

I'm not usually one to like creepy thriller type stuff but I'm at the point now that I'll watch anything put out by Apple. Glad I tried it.

My wife loves thrillers and horror so she's digging it right along with me. The show has an awesome ability to have you chuckle one second and create a great sense of dread almost immediately after. Quality once again from Apple.

How do I know this show is good?

When the priest was in the woods my wife (no pics) said out loud… “What are you doing?”

She NEVER talks to the screen. Ever.

Afterward, she denied saying anything at all. She had no idea she even did it. That’s how into the show she was.

This is a very good show.

Tonight I cackled when he offered a night ride to his old secretary, but didn’t offer a morning one
