What urban legend is this supposed to be?
bangel332210 December 2022
I expected a lot more form an Eli Roth program.

The acting really put me off in this episode.

And I'm not exactly sure which urban legend this story is supposed to be based on?

The story was a bit blah, the acting was really below par, the production looked very cheap.

I will probably keep watching it, but I really hope the show will improve a lot because this wasn't a very good opener at all.

It just focused more on the gore than the actual story itself and resembled one of those bad anthology shows from the 1990s.

Maybe if they'd used some known actors it might have been a bit better.....

No One Ever Told Roth To Start Strong
Reviewenstein4 June 2023
It's pretty common wisdom, right? Make sure your first episode of your TV show demonstrates the tone of the series to come, draws people in, and makes them excited for more. If you've slated the first ep to be the weakest, you may want to reconsider the broadcast order. Likewise, when you're making a show about urban legends, it might be a good idea to lead with one people have actually heard of. The best thing about this clumsy, dull, predictable entry is that the rest can only be an improvement. Oh, and the preponderance of violence against men is, I suppose, part of the... appeal?

EDIT: Having now watched further episodes, I was mistaken. It does not improve.
