It seems to be like a modern day The Shining meets Rosemary’s Baby with DL’s very own favorite, Matt McGorry.
A creepy 1920s apartment building is built over a burnt down library and apparently there is a satanic cult hidden in the building.

It ends on a cliffhanger! They must be confident they're getting a second season.

Don’t tell me because I honestly don’t know how it will end even though I have a good idea how it’s going to go.
R2, did you binge watch it? It is very hard to put down.

I thought it was very good otherwise I wouldn't have binged watched it. It was pretty intelligent and engrossing, a good mix of horror/science fiction. It got a little shaky and convoluted in the last 2 episodes. The female protagonist started to get annoying because she was always intent on saving people and getting herself in trouble..
The monster attempting to break through all the tv screens and monitors was scary.

Holy crap, Matt McGorry has gotten FAT!!!

I just finished the first episode. So far so good.
But, yeah, I came on here to post how fat McGorry is now.

That was a phenomenal show. Even if it doesn’t come back for a second season, it was absolutely worth it.

It just needs a little more gay sex. Preferably with Evan Jonigkeit being totally naked showing penis.

I thought it started off well but I started getting bored by the third episode.
Evan Jonigkeit was effective as the creepy villain, as was Martin Donovan. And Matt McGorry was fine as the funny fat sidekick friend. However, the actor playing the lead character was kind of meh, and it became difficult for me to sympathize with him or with the female protagonist who had so many chances to flee.
It picked up again a bit in the last two episodes, but I was hoping it would wrap things up (which it did not; instead it looks like there is going to be a second season).

Yes, there will be a season 2.
I thought it was great. I liked that it didn't spoon feed you with title cards, you just had to figure out what was present, what was past, what was dream, what was real, what wasn't. I thought it was very cool, beginning to end.

The actresses here look kinda annoying. Do they?

R12, I found the actresses and actors a perfect match for the show.

Really a terrific show--they get atmosphere, the key to any successful Gothic, down perfectly. The teenage African-American actress who plays Jess is a genuine find, as are Dina Shihabi (who looks like Alexis Bledel but is an infinitely better actress) and Mamoudou Athie (who has a gorgeous speaking voice and is a fine actor).
I predict the breakout star, though, will be Evan Jonigkeit, who plays Samuel. He is handsome in such an unusual way. I cannot believe his romantic partner in real life is (ugh) Zosia Mamet!

The main character was pretty cute, but I felt he was boring. Way too much like me. I want passionate characters for the sake of escapism. Jerk off in front of the camera or set up some booby traps around the estate or something.

Black dude in trailer is butt-ugly. Is he the main character?

I am deeply hoping we get to see Evan Jonigkeit with his shirt off at some point.

Er, doubtful.

Evan Jonigkeit shirtless on Broadway ten years ago (with Kathleen Turner).

I found it tedious and its influences too obvious. Both Suspirias, The Shining, The Ring, Rosemary’s Baby.
I liked the main actor. I think he is so handsome and his voice is beautiful. But the girl grated on me. And some of the dialogue and situations were contrived enough to push it into “bad tv” territory.
One thing I will give it credit for. In the beginning, they lead you to believe the main actress is some privileged, frivolous, white wannabe academic type. Then they pull the rug out from underneath all of that with the true nature of her search.
I’m ambivalent I guess.

The black guy accepts a job where he is alone in an isolated building in the woods in the middle of nowhere with no internet? The girl wanders around a Manhattan apartment building knocking on strangers' doors?
I just couldn't get past how unbelievable it all was.
