Itโ€™s been a while since a film or TV show scared the living sh*t out of me (not counting ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜‚๐—ฝ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ž๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€).

HBOโ€™s ๐—ง๐——:๐—ก๐—– takes the excellence of Nic Pizzolattoโ€™s original show and amps it up with a story that invokes ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด (๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿด๐Ÿฎ), ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฎ (๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ) and The X Files, plus a jump scare that gives the โ€œSloth-Sequenceโ€ from David Fincherโ€™s ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐Ÿณ๐—ฒ๐—ป (๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿต๐Ÿฑ) a serious run for its money.

Relative newcomer Kali Reis is a revelation and more than holds her own against heavyweights Jodie Foster and John Hawkes.

Incoming showrunner Issa Lรณpezโ€™ provocative and captivating vision makes me curious about her earlier work. Shame on me for not being aware of this exciting new voice before.

All in allโ€ฆ

Seek it out & get your fix.
