Chambers

I think the series could be interesting if the main actress wasn't so dead in the eyes and just generally really bad at acting. She has such a limited range of expressions and emotions, it makes it horrible to enjoy the story.

So first of all: the actors. Yes Uma, you did good, but what's up with the twenty-year old highschoolers? The unkle? The crazy attic-lady? Wow- how people think this is good acting escapes me. I had to burst out laughing at a couple of scenes and lines.

Production value? It feels like they ran out of money after the first episode and only had money for a simple red filter that they needed to use in every "scary" scene.

The plot is the dollar shop knock-off version of "Hereditary" (which I loved), and was trying hard to be something that it is not. I will grant the three stars because I did finish it and it was a fascinating waste of Netflix money to watch in a "what are they even doing" kind of way.

It's tremendous that Netflix is using its budget to create shows like Chambers. It's a creepy haunted transplant horror, but the new heart comes with strings attached. The entire cast is excellent. This is a gold standard for representation of Indigenous Americans who deserve to be seen on screen.

At episode 7 of the show I decided to look up about the actors and director that worked on it. I was interested how such a show was put together. It had been a bit since I have been invested in a show as this. The acting is not great at times mostly with Sasha's boyfriend but all in all I feel that it's pretty good especially for a lot of these actors first roles or major roles. The show has great pacing, great shot composition, interesting visuals and A story that's mystery keeps me watching. I would absolutely give this show a chance. A lot of garbage is on Netflix I honestly don't see how this is getting negative reviews when far worse shows get glowing. This show has a lot going for it and I look to the season 1 conclusion.

This one dragged hard in the beginning. None of the characters started off very compelling or even that likable or with much depth, and none of them had the type of essence required to carry the slow burn of this story. So why bother? Well, when the story finally picks up, it flies.
