A great new-to-me series that even though I guessed the ending I’ll be continuing. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of clear decade it was set in. I kept thinking it was turn of the 20th century and then they’d casually mention a phone or a flashlight.
Graphic: Child death and Death
Moderate: Confinement, Suicide, Blood, Suicide attempt, Murder, and Fire/Fire injury
