Anyone watch this short series on Netflix?  Creepy show and odd but I enjoyed it.  Saw quite a few people say don't waste your time or that they hated the ending.  I guess I'm in the minority because I kind of liked what they did with it.

We really enjoyed it until maybe the last episode or two. Great cast that I felt they could have done more with.

I like stories based off of true events, that said this barely resembles the true story. I didn't look up the story until we finished because I didn't want ruin possible plot twist that may have came out.

I didn't realize it was even remotely based on a true story.

Remotely is the key word.

Another example in a long line of recent limited series on the streaming platforms that just went a little bit too long - see Dahmer. I really liked the first few episodes and thought the performances were really strong early on. Then around episode six it really just hit a wall and the appeal waned for me. Felt like they had a great story but had to fill 7 episodes. Keeping it nice and tight at 5 would have been perfect.

Great performances by Naomi Watts & Bobby Cannavale. Really nice to see Mia Farrow on the screen again (another reminder if you haven't seen Rosemary's Baby...go watch it tonight...absolute banger classic). Jennifer Coolidge is shockingly good all of a sudden in everything she does (White Lotus..wow). 

I did feel, though, that some of the supporting roles were a bit camp....Terry Kinney - a terrific character actor - was miscast I thought as Jasper and Noma Dumezweni as Theordora felt like she was in a different movie than everyone else.
