I feed off anything from the horror genre like a thirsty vampire and naturally when this series was released for streaming on Netflix, I pounced on it. Not quite, since this was released on Friday the 19th of July but I watched the next day from the wee hours of Saturday morning. I happened to wake up really early at around 5 AM and started binging on this. It was perfect to watch a horror show with it being still dark outside and with all the lights out.
The show is about 5 episodes long, each around 50 mins to 1 hour and the intro on the pilot episode actually was pretty amazing that winds up your thoughts to be prepared for the journey ahead. Actually, intro's on all of the 5 episodes were pretty good and this would have turned out to be an amazing show if only the same grip on the viewers could have been sustained which sadly starts slipping through the fingers and falls flat very soon.
Set in Goa, around a Villa, Bardez Villa(I googled to find if it actually is a real-life haunted villa or with any backdrop stories but was unable to come up with anything), story hovers between three kids who plan to find the ghosts that they believe to haunt the villa and a family who moves into the Villa itself. The plotline is a solid launcher for making an amazing show however cliches, weak storytelling that keeps popping up coupled with how sometimes you know what's coming up lets it down.
I really wanted this to be a great show and I know every horror fan out there wants the same. The setting in Goa is a perfect spot to base the story off, the flashbacks into the past also had a great story that deserved to be explored however it failed to hold it all together
You can stream it if you are a horror buff but others might want to give this a miss as there is nothing for you there.
