With two seasons and 20 episodes, each about 44 minutes long, it’s perfect for those who like their stories dark and thought-provoking but also grounded in history. The cast, including Jared Harris and Ciarán Hinds, brings a lot of depth to the chilling scenarios, making it feel intense and immersive. Fans of American Horror Story or Black Mirror will find something to enjoy here, as it blends suspense with supernatural elements in a way that keeps you hooked. It’s a great choice if you want a series that’s both scary and smart, with each episode leaving you thinking long after it ends.
