I quickly realized that this series won't be a horror, at least not the way I imagine horror. But that doesn't mean it's bad, quite the opposite. The creators managed to build a great, dark atmosphere and solid suspense already in the first episode. The plot had a very decent pace, the cast is truly stellar, and I was very satisfied after the first episode.
