FIRST SEASON : 7,1/10

1) SHINING VALE= MARRIED WITH CHILDREN + AMERICAN HORROR STORY, first season, the one with the haunted house.

Of course, SV is not as brilliant and hilarious as MWT, neither scary as first season of AHS. Still, it's entertaining, there are some funny moments, some intense moments, the pace is kinda fast, and you will not get bored. Nowadays many tv shows bore you to death. SV is recommendable for any person who wants to watch a good comedy/horror show ( Not many of them). It is well directed, too.

2) Every character here is likeable (well, except the one who shouldn't be). I am sick and tired of watching unlikeable characters in tv shows, thank God that is not the case here. Cox and Kinnear did an amazing job. So did the other actors. Their daughter and son, etc.

3) Still, this is not a masterpiece, it's not a 9/10 or 10/10 for sure.

It's interesting enough to watch it but you won't remember it after a month tops. Viewer doesn't bond much with the characters. It's a little bit superficial and shallow. Lower your expectations and you will enjoy it.

Not impressed by the ending but i am gonna watch the second season to see where it goes.

SECOND SEASON : 6,9/10

Second season is somewhat chaotic and messy, still funny though and if you liked the first, you are gonna like it too. Maybe if you pay attention, it's not that confusing. In any case, i enjoyed it. First one was a hommage to AMERICAN HORROR STORY, this one is more like Rosemary's Baby. This is not exciting neither MUST SEE, but if there is a third season, i will watch it.
