Anyone going to be watching this? It's based on a book written by Guillermo Del Toro and the first episode is directed by him so I'm guessing it'll be good. Even if it's not a good story, it'll be good horror which should be enough to keep me around. It's about Vampires but he's said it's not the normal vampires we've seen.

I'm excited but I'll admit I really wish he was doing At the Mountains of Madness instead but I'm excited nonetheless.... I just really want a Lovecraft movie.

It starts tonight at 10 PM EST on FX

I've been pretty interested. Horror shows are cool when done well. Walking Dead I hardly consider horror and AHS is hit or miss with me. Hopefully it's good

It's promising but where are the interesting and likable characters?

I watched the first twenty minutes of the pilot last week. I stopped because I had to go do something, but I dunno if I'll continue. I didn't feel compelled to pick it back up

Is it worth watching Nofo? I may wait to see what the reactions to the next two episodes are

The way they are showing characterization is weird. Like I feel like they aren't trying to give us enough information to really care about the characters. But I feel like the scares aren't where they should be. There's no build up or sense of dread. So I don't know, right now it seems hit and miss. Episode one had mediocre scares and no characterization but episode two had better characterization and no scares. So really, I don't know if I'll pick it up again.

... So you know what I said about episode one and two? Well, episode three blew the other two out of the water in both characterization and scares. This episode was phenomenal and it's definitely built faith in me for this show. I take back what I said earlier, definitely start it.
