It was so good. It was basically everything I'd been wishing for in a show/film. (A southern gothic murder mystery with subtle fantastical elements that didn't feel corny + an amazing and almost palpable setting/atmosphere.) It just felt oddly real? Kind of how the new Twin Peaks season felt like a dream that you (and only you) were dreaming. And Louisiana/the deep south is the absolute perfect setting for stories of that nature due to how weird that part of America is in general.
Those of you who like TD should look into the show Broadchurch (first two seasons) if you haven't. They're very different shows, obviously but they have a somewhat similar feel.
