I enjoyed this up until the very end. **[SPOILERS AHEAD]** The final episode got so predictable that it pulled me out of the show. Anneliese stabs Judy and of course they drag her along to the trap house "in case they need a bargaining chip". Then she dies in the same room as Mother and... Why not just have Mother heal her before she dies? By the time we get to this scene, we all know Mother's blood heals. They do some arse-covering by showing that Mother's blood isn't healing Anneliese's gunshot wound quickly, but that doesn't mean it wasn't doing anything. Furthermore, Sam could have simply asked Mother if there was anything she could do BEFORE JUDY DIED. Instead we get this drawn out scene of Judy dying, just for Mother to resurrect her, which I'm gonna assume we all assumed was gonna happen! Everyone's just standing around watching Judy die and no one asks Mother, "Hey, can you help her?". REALLY?! Then there's Blaine. It's like the creators of this show don't realize their audience includes people who have seen hundreds if not thousands of scenes like this. Was I really supposed to think that Blaine was dead and be pikachu shocked when he wasn't dead? Was that a Duffer Brothers special? SMH. T'was a somewhat disappointing final episode to an otherwise good first season.

Story's interesting, characters are well developed and production is good, however this modern decayed American culture is ruining the show - couple that have an open relationship (having sex with others), husband who is making a dinner while wife is resting and reading a book, young man who is having a relationship with older woman. It feels like everything that is wrong is being normalized in their rotten society and everything that is normal and traditional is being erased and replaced with this abnormalities. This definitely ruins the show. More TV shows I watch, more I come to a conclusion that Koreans are doing much better job in this industry than Americans with their propagandas.

If you're going to watch this show chiefly for sci-fi/action of course you're going to be disappointed. There were so many themes and messages that you'd overlook. This was a really heartwarming story where everyone has their moment to shine, all characters are likeable, and the story focuses on older folks as the heros without making being old the butt of a joke.

Terrible ham fisted acting. Just an absolute waste of time. Had some score that made it feel like I was watching a Spielberg film, real hopeful music, plus the sci-fi premise seemed roght up my alley, but between the god awful acting and the shitty cgi monster, there wasn't enough to keep me watching. Waste of time.
