OMG I loved it. I binged it in two days. What's it all about? Mamoudou Athie plays Dan Turner, a video/audio tape restorer/archivist. Dan has been hired by a peculiar man who works for a mysterious company to restore some video tapes damaged in a fire. Dan has to work in a remote location in a big house in the forest with no cell or internet reception (because the tapes are too fragile to move - whatever, just go with it). The subject of these tapes is the PhD thesis work of Melody Pendras (Dina Shihabi) who was recording an oral history of The Visser - an apartment building with strange occult things happening with the residents. Why did I love it? It's a mix of The X-files, The Ring, Stranger Things, The Exorcist, The Manitou, and maybe LOST. It's a horror mystery and it's chock full of horror references and Easter eggs to other such works in the genre. Dan's geeky friend Mark (Matt McGorry) walks around wearing film festival T-shirts. This is my kind of geek! If your DNA ancestry results have come back as horror-fan, then you must check out this great new show now streaming on Netflix.
