Review of Helstrom

Helstrom (2020)
4/10
I stopped caring

Warning: Spoilers
I gave this show a good 5-episode run before I just had to stop. I had figured out what was wrong. The characters were simply unlikeable. All of them! The brother was constantly sulking. He seems annoyed to be 'helping out' but I can't imagine where he would rather be. He's an all-round dud. The sister seems to have an ever-growing, self-fueled, chip on her shoulder. The mentor was not particularly engaging nor believable in her role. She needed a doctorate to decide that the patient in her weakened state needed fresh air? The mentor's assistant who follows the nun around? Snooze. The nun-in-training? Every time her character popped back onscreen I had to remind myself of who she was. The possessed mother? Gimme a break. How long can you play out a demon-possession where nothing really happens? Then there was something with a skull and a gay police officer/boyfriend? Yawn. At no point did I find myself connecting with anyone over anything. I tried.
