Podcasters I trusted told me this was worth watching. They were wrong. It wasn't bad, I didn't hate it, or even dislike it. I was entertained enough to keep watching; I was unoffended enough not to shut it off. But I gained nothing by seeing it.
This showed up in the new bin on HBO streaming, so why not. I'm not usually into mainstream or horror, but I heard it was a reinvention, or at least reinvigoration, of the genre.
