Customer Reviews
Unsettling and humorous at the same time
The closest comparison that I can think of to describe this show is that it's a Shirley Jackson gothic horror recounted through the lens of modern deadpan humor. The alumnae of a girls' convent for girls with stigmata (e.g. constant bleeding from their wrists) get together on Facebook to try and figure out what exactly happened to them during their school days. The stigmata, the now grown up women who are varying degrees of traumatized, and the threat of internet stalking, all combine to be unnerving. But there's also a matter of factness and banality to the way they describe their lives that is pretty funny in juxtaposition. I can't think of any other show quite like it. Definitely give this a listen.
Of Very High Quality
The writing is very, very clever. The voice acting matches the ambience— apprehensive and morbid fascination. Well done. Reminiscent of Argento’s Suspiria in terms of menacing faculty and eerie school setting.
