ARCHIVE 81 – this new series on NetFlix is supposed to be a supernatural thriller involving a cult and their mission to release a god/demon from another world. I wasn’t so thrilled. It’s eight monotonous episodes and a bit of a mind bend because we’re never clear on how an event happened or why. It’s long on humming, videos whirring, boring evil music, dark labyrinth corridors, and short on variation in the episodes or interesting writing. Kelly, on the other hand, liked it. She said she enjoyed the twists, especially the one at the end. (I didn’t really notice any). But she felt the actor playing the lead character, Dan, was flat and she won’t watch a second season, if there is one. On that we agree. One halfway toast. Zero boyfriends/girlfriends.

  1. I liked it because I like paranormal shows. I binged the whole thing. I thought it was really suspenseful, especially the episode near the end where you learn the events causing the beginning of the cult. It didn’t bother me that Dan’s character was flat. I thought he would be that way from the fire and losing his family so I didn’t really think it was the actor. I hope there is a season two because I want to see what happens to him. The lead actress who plays Melody made the girlfriend meter for me.
