The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Very interesting, but not scary
I had been looking forward to finally watch this so called horror series. And the first 3 episodes made me question whether I should continue watching or not. It was not really scary at all. Very interesting, but not scary. And the questions just kept piling up, for each episode , and it sort of continues like that. Most of the series is full of family disputes and a little twist of supernatural stuff now and then to keep the kettle boiling, so to speak. All in all this could have been cut down to 2/3 of what it is, to much filler in it in my point of view. I watched it all in a completely dark room, all alone, and only got slightly scared 2 or 3 times. There is just too much talk and redundancy in it, for me, to get really hooked. Some of the episodes I just wanted to end, so I could move on and find out, what was actually going on. However I liked the plot and the story very much, and also I think the acting is very good.
Vikings (2013)
It starts so well...
But then it gets more and more boring, episode after episode.
The first 3-4 seasons got me hooked, but then it began getting very tedious with long episodes of nothing much happening. Also some of the actors tend to say the same and do the same all the time, for instance the most ridicoulous character, Ivar The Boneless. Torvi acts ver poorly and is just a very uninteresting character that could have very well been cut out of the series. The list of bad acting and monotonous characters is long, but then there are of course also some very good characters and actors, such as Lagertha, Regnar, Aethelstan, Bjorn Ironside, Floki of course, and others.
There are also all these little impossible things happening, that annoys me like a small stone in my shoe. For instance, Ivar The Boneless walking with his very pointy crutch, that would quickly dissapear in the soft soil, if doing that in the real world.
All in all I give 6 stars, because of the last couple of seasons being very poorly made, and too much of the same. When for the 117 time you hear someone saying: "You are the sons of Regnar Lodbrog", you just want to smack them.
I felt very entertained in the beginning, but just really wanted it to end after season 4.
American Horror Story: Murder House (2011)
Love-hate-relationship
I just watched season 1, Murder house. In the beginning I really enjoyed it, and couldn´t wait till the next episode, BUT then it sort of just began to open up one big plothole after the other, which started ruining the experience for me. There are too many contradictory things going on as the story evolves, and a fair amount of actual flaws as well. Some of the characters react very unrealistic to the grotesque things they see, and some of them do things that are very unfit to their character, and doesn´t make any sense. However I rate Murder house 6 stars, beacuse of the first half of the episodes, and the great plot, which could have been so much better if it hadn´t driven off the track halfways.
