I, personally don't particularly understand the hype surrounding this show. I watched the first episode really hoping to enjoy it, but ended up disappointed. I thought the plot for the first episode was really dull, and uninteresting. It just felt like the writers were trying way too hard to make it creepy, but it just wasn't working. There were two other things in particular that I didn't like about the show. The first one was having a girl with down syndrome in the story line to try and make the show creepier; I found that really offensive. The other I disliked was Jessica Lange's character. I thought the writers made her character way too stereotypical in relation to the story, and I just generally don't like Jessica Lange's acting. Lastly, I realize that some TV shows take a while to build up the plot beyond the exposition, but with all the good things I've heard about this show- or even just the pilot episode- I was expecting more.
