The scares are not as over-the-top as American Horror Story but more chilling because they're applied glancingly. [13 Feb 2012, p.44]
A strong cast and that things-that-go-bump-in-the-night shooting style so far keep the show on course.
You have a series that cobbles together a pretty strong rooting interest.
The River still has a quirkily eccentric charm. It's just so deliciously odd.
The makers of the "River" deserve credit for spilling so much of their "X-Files" myth-ology from the start, but there's not enough reason to book passage on this voyage of the bland.
The mixture of "Lost" storytelling and "Paranormal" style is neither intriguing nor particularly scary, and it doesn't help that there's hardly a glimmer of humor.
