The latest installation of the
Into the Dark series (finally) travels into werewolf territory, but it lacks the usual (albeit small) horror aspects that typically come with an episode of
Into the Dark. Instead we get a sort of origin story that doesn’t quite know how to pace itself.
We start out right off the bat with a dead body in a living room, and a woman escaping with her child. Then it’s something like ten years later, and we get to properly meet Esme (Megalyn Echikunwoke - Almost Family) and her son Luna (Yonas Kibreab - The Big Show Show). She’s looking for a house for them, and all she asks about is a basement, which isn’t weird at all. She enters the local bar, gets herself a job, and is immediately accosted by, guess who, the town sheriff! Real shocker.
