Oh man I'm gutted, especially after Hotel. I've really enjoyed all the other series too. You get to know the characters and the actors do an amazing job. Plus, they tell more of a story. But for Roanoke, it's not ticked any boxes for me and I was expecting good things from it. It's really cheesy - is that the point? A p*ss take of Blair Witch etc ? Who knows. Sorry guys.

Excellent Series as a Whole. I thought the Seasons 1 and 2 were addictive. Season 3 not as Much. Season 4 The Travelling Circus was Excellent in parts but Waned in Some Episodes. On Season 5 like The Timeless Art Deco looks like its Going to pay Homage to The Shining with Realistic Eeriness and a Very Sinister Underbelly.Lady Gaga a great Addition to the Cast. Im only 1 Episode in but so far so Good.

I loved season 1 and 2 made it through 3 and 4 came back to it in season 5 and was hoping the latest installment would be a return to form... it's not, it's awful and no where near as clever as it thinks it is. I guess it was supposed to be a statement about society and in this it does succeed... sadly it also makes it hard to watch and not for any of the reasons you want it to be... plus the acting is terrible and the characters are paper thin.
