Despite a few missed opportunities and a couple dropped threads, this is an excellent series overall.
Anyone who has dealt with the grief of a sudden loss will be very moved by several aspects of this story.
The writers tapped successfully into grief in a way that made it feel authentic.
Their approach to the supernatural elements of this tale was not heavy handed, which helped avoid the hokeyness that sometimes hampers films in which a ghost is a central character.
For the most part, the large cast did a solid job bringing the village featured in this movie to life.
There were a few woke elements woven into this tale, but props to the writers for not being too heavy handed with them.
While one important moment was hijacked by a me too diatribe, in general, social justice took a back seat to story and character development, which made for a far more engaging final product.
I would consider this series very with watching, particularly for fans of ghost stories, murder mysteries, and small town dramas.
