Listen, I understand that Sacasa's whole deal is putting beloved teenage characters in dark, gritty settings with lots of gratuitous violence, gore, shots of nude women, and be very focused on teenage sexuality... and Chilling Adventures does pull off the 60s Satanic Panic horror genre that it aims to emulate with a unique art style that would be striking if the plot of the novel didn't feel like I constantly had someone in my face going "OOO Isn't this so EDGY! It's soooo EDGY!!" ... but couldn't he also make it GOOD?
