Review of Shadows House

Right out of the gate this series grips you with it's atmosphere and mystery. It does a fantastic job slowly revealing answers to the questions it's constantly raising, and crafting a dark narrative where everything is obviously not as it seems. But above all I think the characters are what make the show so compelling to watch, Ms Sunshine Emilico being the obvious standout. Her bubbly personality shines so brightly to contrast to dark setting, and her innocent curiosity is what grounds the audience so firmly in the story. You want to know more about how the Shadows House works because she does, and it'sa brilliant way to exposit information without it feeling like exposition.

Many of the other living dolls introduced all serve to make Emilico more unique by being more brash and arrogant and the whole debut arc was one of the few things I was watching at the time that I binged several episodes back to back, needing to know what happened next. A bit of a diamond in the rough series that I don't think got as much attention as it deserves, it's one that I'd highly recommend for fans of dark thriller fantasy. 9/10
