I came into it expecting a horror and it is definitely much more of a drama and discussion of religion and community with some supernatural/horror elements to it. And for what it was, I enjoyed it. The first half of the series was better than the second in my opinion, which was a bit of a bummer, but I think that depends on personal preference. I can imagine a lot of people preferred the second to the first half. The revelations came maybe a bit too quickly and too sudden after giving only hints of it in the first few episodes. Killing off the "main" character certainly didn't help. That was a choice. Overall the series is well made, the actors are excellent, and the atmosphere, setting, and cinematography complement the story nicely. The pacing is rather slow with a lot of dialogues, which is definitely not for everyone, but it's the heart of this series and makes it what it is. So, decide for yourself if that sounds like something you might enjoy. If you're looking for a fun, no-thinking, horror show with lots of action and momentary shock elements, yeah, this isn't the one for you.
