I tried this show numerous times and could not get past the first two episodes. Only after I finished the House of Usher was a willing to give it another go.
I agree with quite a few of the other reviewers that it is a slow burn. There are a lot of shots that are drug out beyond what felt necessary. The walk to the midnight Easter vigil being one of them. I appreciated the cinematography during it, but also felt that it leant itself to losing the audience more than building up to the big night.
I do think that Flanagans take on this cross of bible and vampire was incredibly unique and deserves to be seen. It's a series that asks more of the viewer but I cannot say that's a bad thing.
7/10.
