Well... it gets better!
When i saw the first episode i was like: "what am i watching... and WHY am i watching this?" I didn't like it at all. It had terrible cuts, and tons of cliché (like music, and a mysterious lady appearing from nowhere, evil rottweilers??) BUT i liked the main actor so... yeah, lately all pilots from TV shows are really boring, even there's a list somewhere about "in witch episode you get attached to the show"(in Daredevil, for example, it's the fifth or sixth episode). Anyway, i decided to keep watching.The second episode was better, at least it was more credible, because deaths on the pilot were really disappointing, like that Kelly girl's death??? seriously??? it was really forced, in my opinion. But in this episode you start to understand Damien's mind and everything. I wasn't 100% convinced anyways, but it was better so i kept on.
From the third episode until now (the fifth) it was really interesting, yes. I was 100% convinced in the last episode though, besides the fact that they still using rottweillers... at least one of the characters escaped from an attack so... it was more realistic i guess, now it's creeper and confusing at the same time, and Damien's evolve is being great. I don't understand the point of some characters? and some things that came up from nothing (like that blond girl flirting with Damien's friend?), but i guess you should give it a try, i'm sure i'll figure it out some thing later because that's the point (and if those stuff has no explanation ever, it means it was a crappy show lol)
Oh, it's important to remind something: it's an adaptation, we're not in the 80's anymore, probably we will never watch anything as good as 80's movies or TV shows, they were masterpieces, now everything is used, everything has been told, and i don't know a single horror TV show, maybe Goosebumps??? but that's from the 90's and it was meant for kids, so don't expect anything like the original movie, ever. Watch this show with an outside view. Same thing happened with Bates Motel.
Also, i'm sorry for my English, i'm a screenwriter student and i'm trying to learn and watch a lot.
score 8/10
