Every time we think there's some action going to happen the next episode comes and nothing happens. That's upsetting when there's actually 40-45 minutes episode with a non so relevant events to the story happens and the writers keep us hanging for the next episode and yet nothing happen in it either.

Uncomfortable, unnecessary, and difficult to watch.

Nothing like using a teenage, in the woods, scalding hot coat hanger abortion as a plot device. You could write a thousand different ways to go about that part of the plot, the writers chose to use one that was immensely uncomfortable to watch. Other than that, the episode wasn't any better as a whole, easily the worst of the season.
Come on, lets pick It up

Warning: Spoilers
Last episode Shauna, Taissa and Natalie get together and seemed to be a turning point for the show, telling us the pace would then pick up. Not really.
This episode follows Shauna and Jeff attending Jackie's house and having dinner with her parents as well as following relationships made in this wilderness such as Van and Taissa and Natalie and Travis. It also focuses a little on Lottie and how she has had this sixth sense since young. Does this mean this is a separate thing to what Taissa's going through or is it linked? We now have two supernatural entities to worry about.
As for Shauna and Jeff, we see Jeff being quite loving towards Shauna and even defending her which gives into the is Jeff actually cheating or is it something else. This continues on with the Shauna arc of her having an affair and not really knowing what she is doing. In the wilderness, we see Shauna considering getting rid of her baby and then proceeding to actually do it; I must say, this scene was heart-breaking as Taissa and Shauna flooded their faces with tears as they were doing what they were doing.
Whilst this is happening Lottie is getting baptised to help rid of her of these wild visions, she's getting but ultimately doesn't seem to work and well we see Taissa eating dirt in past and present which is wild.
Then ultimately Misty does Misty things and holds the journalist hostage in present day.
Whilst all of this is happening, the episode fails to pick up the pace even though we are now more than halfway in. Where is the bigger hints into the descent of madness?!
Overall, the show seems to be moving slowly and I hope the next episodes aren't rushed now as a result.
P. S. Jackie continues to be useless yet getting mad that no food was brought before her. Will she pick up her slack?
P. P. S. Seeing Natalie and Travis doing their thing only meters away from where people died don't sit right.

Goes for the shock
mycannonball21 January 2022
I feel like in lieu of having a truly compelling story line to pull you through, the episodes often resort to shock value for the sake of shock value. But I really want more story. Love the premise, like the characters, but finding the storytelling to be lacking so far.
Treading Water
XTheXXTruthX12 June 2022
The show started off with an ok first episode, really good 2nd and 3rd episodes, now it's started tailing off badly in the 5th and 6th.
It's becoming really repetitive with not a lot going on.
I think I've got 1 more episode in me and if it doesn't pick up it's time to throw the towel in.
