Eerily Shot and Intriguingly Entertaining
14 April 2017 | by – See all my reviews

I must first admit to thoroughly enjoying period pieces! That was just one element that drew me to this show. The second being Colin Morgan; I have enjoyed watching him grow as an actor since I first saw him in Merlin. I thought the music was perfect for this genre, if you can say "Period Horror" is a genre. I found parts that reminded me of "Supernatural", except nobody knew how to protect themselves from the goings on. I agree that there were many unanswered questions, but fans of this type of show accept that as part of the draw. Even at the end, there will always be something that makes you say "huh?", but because that is expected, it allows the viewer to insert his/her own conclusions. In the US, I feel like I'm being spoon fed the information, like I'm too stupid to figure anything out on my own. The constant need storytellers and directors have for flashbacks and blatant foreshadowing is patronizing. I love British television and movies because you never know how it might end. In Hollywood there seems to only be one kind of ending-happy. From the beautiful countryside, the great actors, the eerie music, and the compelling story with the lovely crossover events, I look forward to a second season of "The Living and the Dead".
