Milo and POTUS posted:Why's the landlord the scary part? I dunno if I like Season 3 nearly as much as 1 or 2. I absolutely loved No-End House and thought it was a really cool concept to explore what a supernatural creature imbued with a good father's memories would think about its existence. Candle Cove was a bit too slow (should have been a couple episodes shorter), but it had a nice eerie atmosphere without going overboard. Both seasons reminded me a lot of Silent Hill. Butcher's Block on the other hand is just full-on schlock and derivative horror imagery like creepy midgets and rotting meat/cannibalism. I did enjoy the meat-man the first time I saw him, but he is just a variation on tooth-man from s1. A lot of the time I feel like the show's creators saw David Lynch movies and thought, "hey, we can do stuff like that, too" without the actual creative spark that Lynch has. I mean, come on, Alice's schizophrenia monster is the radiator lady from Eraserhead. Some of the other stuff is like Hellraiser or Event Horizon. I'd rate it at like 5 or 6/10 for this season so far.

I know I just gave a crappy review above, but I think the way the season went and how it ended landed it up in the 8/10 category instead of 5 or 6. I do feel it relied on too many cliched horror tropes and gory shock imagery, but it had very likable characters at the end and I like how Zoe became the true protagonist who accepted her flaw. Awesome scene with the elder god thing, too. I'm still looking forward to whatever comes next for this series.
