I couldn't find a thread? I could be blind. (Netflix Originals don't seem like much of a Match Cut thing, anyways.)
The house here reminded me a bit of my grandma's house, so I was initially hooked. I could have watched Ruth Wilson walk around a creepy old home for 90 minutes and been satisfied. But, there's a story. And a backstory. And a story within a story. And a mystery? (But a half-hearted one at that.) Everything is thinly sketched, the details/answers trite and never less than obvious. The jump scares are predictable. As both a mood piece and a narrative, it crumbles into nothing.
Insert a Rowland shrug here.
