Equinox

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.

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

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.

I give it a 6 solely on the first 4 episodes, which were generally interesting. Downhill from there with a terrible wrap-up, although I pretty much had guessed where it was heading. Lots of unanswered questions that I won't bother to mention, bc that would just be more wasteful time.

I had high hopes for this tv show because I like moody Scandinavian shows and also quite fond of Celtic culture. It started off rather good - there was the slow burn and that gloomy atmosphere I was hoping to see. However, aside from the atmosphere the show failed to deliver a logical story and badly lacked any explanation of the events. The ending felt like it was done last minute. It left me with soooo many questions - there were no answers to literally anything, so none of the story makes any sense to me. If they ever make season 2 - I'm not going to watch it.
