I love this show with all my heart, it's the sweetest and most heartwarming thing you can watch on Netflix, or anywhere for that matter. The cast, from the judges to the contestants, is lovely and diverse. You have a dad and his lad, straight friends, gay friends, straight couples, gay couples, and even a senior trans woman and her millennial roommate. Also, the talent and imagination on display are off the chart. I dare you to finish a single episode without shedding a tear.

I was so bored, I couldn't finish episode 3. Maybe the show gets better later but at this point I don't care. And that's too bad because I love Maya Rudolph.

I love "The Conjuring", so I was excited about a TV show with a family in a haunted house, but this is ultimately boring. There's two major issues: it's scary as missing toilet paper; the acting and direction is utterly bad. Nothing in this show is scary. Most of the time ghosts "hang" there. On one occasion they pick up a hat, on an other they crawl. There's nothing evil going on. Compared to all the shenanigans that were happening in "The Conjuring". This is utterly disappointing. I kinda liked the sequence where the younger sister hangs herself, there was some good idea in there, but that doesn't make for the other 10 boring hours. Then, there's the actors. Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel, and Julian Hilliard are doing a great job, the rest of the cast ranges from bad to terrible. Michiel Huisman being the worst. Plain. Unconvincing. Lukewarm. Maybe it's the direction, I don't know. Long story short, after fast-forwarding through episode 6, I'm giving up. I'd rather watch "The Conjuring" 6 times in a row.
