Before I say anything, this is a review of only the 2nd Season (No-End House).
Negativity bias makes me remember the things I dislike before the things I liked, so let's start there. First, a question. Why was this 6 episodes long? Better question. Why is each episode 44 minutes long? This was based on a creepypasta meaning they already didn't have a whole lot to work with and then they stretched how much as they could.
This makes the pacing very slow, and for a horror show, I felt bored most of the time. I guess they wanted to make a slow-burner, but they went way too far, and some scenes just feel like filler.
The show is well-shot, but I think some scenes were way too dark to see anything, maybe it's just my TV but during episode 4 in the corn maze, I was barely able to see anything.
And there's the usual horror cliches, like characters doing things just because the script requires something spooky to happen and pointless sex scenes. No jump scares though, except for one in the very last episode.
But let's talk about the good, as I already said, the show is well shot, the acting is good and aside from moving at a snail's pace the story is also good. On the flip-side, I think this makes for a great show to put on TV when you want to sleep because so many scenes happen with little dialogue and not many things happening. This isn't a backhanded compliment, I love watching something to help me sleep and this show fits right into.
