I really loved this and have watched it twice already. I looooooove Sailor J/Jahkara J. Smith and really only watched it because she is in it. I haven't watched any of the other episodes of this series. I thought she was great and pretty much everyone else was great too. I loved the actor who played Jo. I loved her throaty voice. It was driving me nuts who was playing the creepy pastor and IT'S MOTHERFUCKING JASON STREET from Friday Night Lights. I thought he was excellent. He nailed that fake jocular tone of youth pastors and had that thread of nastiness underneath.
The end was so, so, SO satisfying. I think I'm going to watch it again.
I thought some of the jump scares were pretty good. I especially liked the opening dream sequence. The lace veil sliding over Shay's face for WAY TOO LONG was very evocative. Of what, I'm not sure.

I only have one complaint and that is that Lilith's cgi smile really ruins the creepiness. It's a minor complaint, but there it is. Otherwise, I really recommend this one.
