Day by day, the rating for this keeps going down, and I think like many other viewers I now on episode six, understanding why.
The concept is wonderful. That said, somehow the patient tends to feel not at all creepy or scary and at times, very slow. Which is saying something when episode run time is appx. 23 mins.
I hate to say this but Domhnall Gleeson ... did not meet the mark. I have loved some of the previous work he's been involved in such as Ex Machina and Black Mirror. Maybe it's the fact the Netflix just aired 'Dahmer' and Evan Peters absolutely killed in (pun intended) and Domhnall cannot play on the same level.
Sitting across from a serial killer, having watched him murder someone, I would hope to feel terrified. Sadly, I'm noticing little to no fear factor or even worry. Not sure how they managed to accomplish that given the premise.
Steve Carell is the selling point in every way - but the intensified background on his story could have been included in the creep of the hour, Sam's, backstory. He's in therapy, I haven't learned anything about Sam that isn't base.
The series started off strong. Great cast. Good concept. Feeling like "ohhhhhhh yes", but by episode five, bet - that you're a little bored.
