What’s most memorable about the series is neither its supernatural elements, which are only vaguely explained, nor even really its central murder mystery. It’s the clear and unsparing portrait of its villain, a woman who weaponizes her genuine grief over the death of her son into a literal witch hunt, with shocking and horrifying results.
In the end, the series becomes an unfortunately run-of-the-mill genre show that is thankfully a miniseries, leaving no pressures of an unlikely Season 2 on the table.
