The locale was beautiful and the cast was good. The lighting was used to good effect - the red and the green lights, were used well to direct attention. I also liked the use of the rapidly flipping pages of the book to separate the "previously on" scenes - it was a unique and different effect
I found this to be more of a comedy than a scare. I guess if the characters were making good, logical decisions then there wouldn't be so much to fear, but it still annoys me. I'm not very fond of the overly dark scenes either because I'm old and don't see as well as I used to or perhaps the new TVs make those scenes look better? It was worth the time to watch it, at least this time around, but I don't think I'd be interested in a second season.

It got scary moments, but I still can't take it seriously. It feels more like a comedy, even though it's not a comedy. Sadly, interracial agenda is also present here. This is another European TV show I tried (after "Dark"), but it disappointed me.

Summary:
An ancient witch haunts a young woman who became famous from writing books based on her nightmares. The young author, Emma, must not only fight for her own life, but the lives of those closest to her when she returns to her hometown. Poor Emma constantly tries to make up for her mistakes she made as a teenager, but only seems to make things worse while Marianne turns her life upside down.
Personal opinion:
This truly terrifying show is on the same level as The Haunting of Hill House. The plot thickens with each haunting episode, making it a binge worthy series. Not many shows now-a-days can pull off the nightmare induced scares this show offers. The flashes of both the past and present are very well placed to add fear and a great build up. This is a must watch, with all the lights on.
