The Gathering Dark (E09)

it's becoming clear now that we're headed towards the finale. While this episode felt like more of a setup for the ultimate showdown, it still had plenty to offer, keeping me far from bored, even by accident. I'm guessing New England earned its name from the weather, which probably reminded the early settlers of their original homes. The creators really nailed this gloomy vibe, making it a crucial element in the overall oppressive atmosphere that's been a hallmark of the series. Props to Stephen King for yet another nod to H. P. Lovecraft, whose works (among others) inspired King's horror stories. (11/02/2022)
