Shining Vale

I think this show is off to a great start, personally, but I'm really just here to ask what is everyone's issue with the ages of the cast? Get with the times people! It's 2022 and completely normal to have kids in your 30s which would make you 50s with teenagers! End rant, but seriously, get a grip!

...esp. The ones that didnt watch more than 3eps.

I usually dont judhe before the full season, but I enjoyed todays episode so much, I checked the ratings... I just dont get it. I am a massive horror fan and also watched about everything that has come out in the thriller-, sci-fi, mystery-, suspense,- genre in the last decade as well. And I gotta say "shining vale" has one quality that makes it one of the very few shows i look forward to watch every week: non-predictability. YES, the elements of it are superoverdone: posession, haunting, sterotype teencharacters, drugabuse etc... BUT they do it so twisted and over- or under-the top... at least I can´t see it coming. Or at least not totally. They also have a way of misleading the viewer with sound or trope- cues (which admittingly annoyed me in the beginning, cuz it felt like thats all that will happen. Which may be why many dont stick with the show....)... which by now I love, cuz its fun when sth. Actually DOES happen, just not the way u thought exactly.

I dunno... I am just rly tired of beeing in the minority of what shows I like these days...

One last thing: the comparison to "American horror story" is valid as any show compared to another.

(and I think I get where ppl are coming from, but there are so many points to make on how they are nothing alike from theconceptual pov to the vibe and structure.... I wont even get into any of that.) but from the start it reminded me a lot more of "santa clarinets diet" and "ghosts" than AHS.

Honestly this is laugh out loud hilarious! I almost didn't bother after reading negative reviews and low ratings. It's a very dark comedy and the humour is spot on. I won't go into the story as there's different layers that are hard to accurately portray in writing. Just watch it. Glad a second season has been commissioned. Interested to see how this continues. If you're looking for something full of depth and serious then this isn't for you. If you're looking for a laugh out loud comedy of a woman being possessed by a ghost and slowly transcend into madness then you'll enjoy.

I did not expect much because of all the negative reviews. I decided to watch it anyway because there's not much else on. I found it entertaining. I always liked Greg Kinnear and Courteney Cox. . As per other reviews, I did not notice much with the age different. If they're in their 50s ,they had their kids in their 30s So I don't see why all the complaints? Just give it a try and don't expect much. It's a lighthearted dark comedy and I'm looking forward to season two. If you are offended by bad language , definitely don't watch it.

Don't really understand the low rating this show gets. It's got a snappy script, well executed by the cast. It is a very classic sorry but embraced in it's fullness. It's a bit silly and a bit serious, but anyone watching it should never forget that this is intended to be silly. I like it and plan to finish the season as it unveils. I don't expect amazing twists and turns, just an enjoyable ride.
