I’m enjoying the way the story is unfolding, especially as someone who isn’t a fan or horror but sometimes the themes are too dark for me. I would check content warnings for sure.

3.5

I still find it interesting to compare the original to the Netflix series, but mind the content warnings. Overall, I would say that the Netflix series is the improved version of this story, as more thought was put into it and the story got more room to breathe.
