A mess
The crazy thing about this series is that the real story on which it is based is actually pretty creepy. On the screen, however, they managed to make it silly and childish (zero scary, don't expect any chills).
The major problem might be the amount of weird characters and artificial dialogue. We soon lose any notion of normality. The neighbours, the detectives, the friends... everybody is eccentric, to say the least. There isn't any subtlety whatsoever.
We don't get to wonder because the characters never wonder, they only do stupid things non stop, for 7 episodes.
Also, the generalized obsession with the house isn't convincing at all.
It's a pity. Other creators might have done something much more interesting with the same premise.
