Equinox

I would akin this more to a Midsommer of sorts. It helps if you look up Ostara and Norse mythology. It's not bad if you know what to expect otherwise you probably will have no clue

I wasn't expecting much due to the reviews but someone mentioned Midsommar in his comments so I decided to give it a go.

I was pleasantly surprised. I'd say it's a 6.7 out of 10.

I don't get the comparisons with Dark, not related at all. Equinox is way better than Dark's 2nd season anyway.

Up to you, I decided to give it a go despite the bad reviews and I'm glad I did.

I had high expectations for the series as it had been described as "The Danish Dark" in some reviews and I loved Dark. It actually started pretty good with an interesting mystery peppered with meaningful flashbacks. However, it seems like the writers run out of creative steam in episode 3 or 4 and it went fast on a downward slope to the point I seriously considered not watching anymore. However, my curiosity was more powerful and, at the end, it did not disappoint as much as I thought when the conclusion was reached. If you say you stopped watching, I can't blame you, but give it a try.

Yes, Equinox will undoubtedly remind people of a dozen other shows and films - most obviously recent ones like Stranger Things, Midsommar, Dark and Hereditary - because everything borrows from everything else, it's unavoidable. But Equinox has its own soul and its own flavour, and if you approach it from there, you'll get a lot more out of it.

Unlike some other shows, the story doesn't mess around - 6 episodes was all that was needed, and it filled them perfectly. The lead actresses are fantastic, as is the music, and the look-and-feel is spot-on.

I can see some people who enjoyed it calling for a series 2; it doesn't need it, at all. There's no more story to be told. Everything was wrapped up (bar a couple of inconsequential things), it's done, and done beautifully.

Getting to learn this folk lore that I've heard as a child but in its "true" version was breathtaking and SO spooky. No jump scares needed the vibe was chillin enough. And the main actress was superb. Watch if u like horrors that build on a disturbing feeling.
