As a lover of 70s/80s horror, I looked forward to this series. I'm sorry to say it was rather poor. The opening episode in particular is badly done. From the entire series, only Bad Bad Jo Jo was particularly good. The episodes it's too late now and superstitious ignorance were also ok. The rest should have been scrapped. It would have easily been three highly quality episodes and be remembered. Unfortunately they made episodes with weak stories and this drags down the whole series. I will not give it a rewatch, but I do think Bad Bad Jo Jo could be a good idea for a modern remake. Maybe one day it will happen.

The editing style of this movie is irritating. I was fully switched on and aware of what was occurring and connecting the dots, but it is fast paced editing jumping back between one time period and another, without any time for characters to develop. They are just thrown in. For the first time in my life I walked out of the movie. The actors and locations were there, but the director really went over the top this time. The movie was not for me. There are other movies which accomplice what is required without such a style. I suspect it will quickly be forgotten, as it is a fad. I really cannot find how anyone can describe this movie as good. You have been taken in my social media and group think. A serious time period and subject lost in scissor hands. Alas I did not witness the explosion.

The first time I tried to watch the first episode I could not get into the series, but give it time, watch a few episodes and you will become hooked. A great series and hope they make more.
