i just finished watching it and i felt just the opposite. this could have been done in an hour and a half. the endless scenes of them staring at nothing and just the scenery was overdone.

i will agree that the acting was good but by the third episode, the lead actress got on my nerves.

I enjoyed the series, and was overall pleased with it, but felt less enthusiastic about it upon having seen the concluding episode than I had after solely the first two; the third episode didn't hold the same strong sense of appeal and mystery that I had, until then, felt, and the ongoing "hook", of what/whom is the ominous haunting presence, felt like it had lost much of its steam.

I agree that the series could have definitely been tightened, and that its effectiveness and impact would have benefited if it had been. But I think paring things down by half would have been excessive. To my tastes, cutting the production's length by thirty or so minutes would have ideally done the trick.
