    Really loved the first half, but sadly the second half didn't hit, and the ending was unsatisfying and leaves you with a dozen unanswered questions.
    The visuals, however, were absolutely stunning. I would sit through it again just for that, and for the great performances from our main trio.
    Let's normalize putting intermissions in movies over 2 hours long.

    An absolutely brilliant horror concept. Might be my favorite limited-series of all time?
    The island setting aids in creating such a unique tone and feel to the series. The performances are incredible and the execution of the plot is great. My only knock is that the writing is a little over-indulgent sometimes, and those scenes tend to drag on too long.
    The ending scene of episode 5 has stuck with me ever since I first watched the show years ago. Incredibly haunting.

    The film's black and white photography is stunning, with great shot composure. I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes and chuckled a few times, then... it lost me.
    It may have been my lack of knowledge of the historical context or the fact that I streamed this late at night and started getting sleepy, but the rest of the film dragged and felt confusing and boring.
