Those who have seen the first two episodes and perhaps even read the play...is this the TV show to watch with your friends or family?

My perimeter is that I do not want to watch Heated Rivalry with my family, friends only after watching separately first.

I know this is dark and different, trailer gives me a bit of a scandinavian crime TV with supernatural elements which my family loves.

My favorite television iteration of Anne of Green Gables starred Megan Follows in the mid-1980s. She is an ensemble cast member of Yaga. I was somewhat blurry eyed from 2-3 a.m. but will just have to watch these two episodes a few more time to see if I can recognize her.

Rachel Reid put that beloved Canadian book into the hands of Ryan Price so there is that little piece of trivia connection between Yaga and HR.

I will watch it because the story is not bad and atmosphere is not bad either , but the execution of whatever is coming feels so minimizing and zero lawyered , I can not explain why the main character acts like a joke in a grown man's body while he is investigating a student's disappearance and her cop partner feels like a cartoon character as well to be honest. The point is that it has mixed vibes that does not really suits the tone of the storv. Mystery is lacking as well, but the potential is definitely on the table. Not very intriqued by 2 episodes yet.
