    Should have been a movie instead

    I love the cinematography displayed here. The acting is spot on but just like everyone else has said, the story is just all over the place. It's slow paced and goodness gracious, boring. It's what you get when you take a 'not so great' book and try to turn it into a series. I guess you can call this a thriller, because it's not scary at all.

    Just finished watching episodes 1-3 and sadly I am really not excited to continue watching. But affer reading a couple of great reviews here, am kinda curious to see what they talking about. And I truly want to be wrong so am gonna try and watch 4 and see.

    Look out for my updated review afterwards.

    Update: Nuuh, not for me, episode 4 was just as boring and ridiculous as the first 3. It quickly went from supernatural to just plain old nonsense. Am done.

    The film is both intriguing and annoying at the same time⏳⏳⏳

    The series is quite controversial, managing to both captivate and disappoint viewers simultaneously. Its intrigue lies in the mystery surrounding the events, although the creators tend to unnecessarily prolong and complicate the plot, detracting from the overall experience. It's comparable to adding excessive details, like an abundance of sauce, to the main dish.

    One of the main criticisms towards this show is its occasional boredom and lack of significance. There are moments where it becomes tempting to stop watching and not waste any more time. Episode 5, in particular, created confusion as the main character unexpectedly transformed from a foe to a devoted follower of the "cult" and a faithful puppet to the "witch" (sarcastically speaking).

    Episode 6 attempts to present the story from the perspective of the "wife," but skipping this episode wouldn't lead to any significant loss since it merely retells what has already been mentioned with negligible additional information. At this point, the idea of discontinuing the series feels like a reasonable course of action to take.

    In episode 7, we witness a performance that lacks true meaning. The actions seem to be influenced by a woman's memories, but the mechanics behind this connection remain elusive. If asked how it works, the answer would be a resounding "I do not know." These hallucinations might be a result of excessive tranquilizer use, making it advisable to avoid the misuse of psychotropic drugs and the creation of such meaningless narratives.

    In the end, the series can be considered "average" but is not suitable for everyone. Personally, I discontinued watching after episode 7 as I couldn't stomach the mundane pseudophilosophy presented by a gifted yet neurotic individual.

    Decent actors, terrible pacing

    I've read the book so I think I know where this is going.

    What I can't understand, 7 episodes in, is how they managed to get the pacing so badly wrong The first three episodes are pretty good. They actually go faster than the book (which has it's own problems with pace and genre hopping transitions) and set out the stall of magic realism/folk horror from the start, but they've stretched the middle part if the story beyond breaking point, adding in backstory which was not in the books and which killed the pace completely.

    I will watch the denouement but my fear is that having wasted two episodes (6 & 7) telling us nothing we needed to know, the ending will be rushed, confused or worse still delayed until a second season.

    Do not watch the first episode ...

    ... because you will find the characters likable and become invested in what happens to them.

    But this turns out to be a terrible investment to make. You will at no point in the last several episodes be glad that you subjected yourself to this show. But it will be too late for you because you watched the first episode and became invested.

    If you disregard this advice and watch the first episode, know this: Nothing that you want from the rest of this series will be given to you. Nothing. Fill in the blank: "I want to watch more episodes to at least ________." Whatever you filled in that blank will not be given to you whether you watch the rest or not. You cannot have that. And the situation that you now want it could have been avoided if you had listened to my advice.

    I was shocked to see this rated so low. But I understand...

    It requires patience and suspending any disbelief as the story unwinds. I know it's slow going and yes, it did feel that this could've been done in fewer episodes. (Sometimes Fast Forward is your friend, I consider it at home editing) But the story is fascinating and compelling it's a giant mystery with a few clues. And it definitely left me wanting more.

    I'm looking forward to season 2. I hope it provides some answers.

    But, honestly, if it does the same stalling for 2-3 episode then I'll be on the side of the haters. I'll forgive it for season 1 because I'm willing to see what the real truth is.

    • Trivia
      The string that grants 3 wishes once it falls off is actually based on a real Brazilian tradition, just not as creepy. There's a popular church in Salvador, Bahia that people visit from all over and they sell colorful ribbons that say "Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia" (Remembrance of the Lord of Bonfim of Bahia). The tradition is to have someone tie the ribbon around your wrist, making three knots and with each knot you make a wish. People will wear it until it gets really old and falls off by itself, which is how your wish comes true! You're not supposed to cut it off either, like the trailer describes.
