7/10
More to it than you think
7 November 2020

I agree with a couple of other reviewers here that it's a statement on the conspiracy theorist subculture.

It does a good job on building upon what may lead someone to be susceptible to seemingly outrageous claims. It also provides some reason to sympathize with such a person.

Desperate in their own loneliness and problems, they seek out explanations for why they are in their predicament. Based on reality or not, they just want someone....or something to blame and to end their strife.

I think the ending is meant to be open-ended. That is, this is still a new(er), or now more publicized phenomenon and we don't yet really know if facts and reality will win out or if we're all going to be chasing ghosts and demons around our house.

If you're looking for a horror series, this may not be it. I'd categorize it more as psychological suspense. Worth watching if you're willing to take some time to analyze and process what you just saw.
