Anyone watching or watched this one ?

I binged the whole thing in 3 days. It's like a hybrid of Event Horizon, Alien and the Thing. The flashbacks are hit or miss, most of them have no real effect on the present, except for Lana's of course. The cast is really good all around, my favorites were Shun (Sen Mitsuji he is a standout, and I think this is his first role ever, so great work), Lana (Natalia Tena, she has some really complex silent work, particularly in her flashback and the finale), Katie (Siobhán Cullen) and Logan (Tom Felton, he especially gets really good as the show goes). It's fairly predictable, I mean, I two first guesses for the parasites host were the the person who had a really shady past and the person who had the parasite. Some of the characters make such stupid decisions, and most of them pay for it with their lives. Has a few really good jump scares. The production is great, given that it's a YT original. All in all, I enjoyed it immensely, and am looking froward to season 2, given the ending.

It's on my to do list.
Edit : at ep04 now. It's not ground breaking but so far it's entertaining enough for me for I like horror and scifi. It has an atmosphere quite like Pandorum ( 2009 movie ), I would say.

Edit at ep08 now : scratch that, it's more in the vain of The Thing/The Hidden with its who is not who he is plot but at the end it's its own thing, bits of things you already saw in other movies/TV shows, I don't say that negatively, nothing is really new.
I stand by my first point, it's not ground breaking but it's not crap scifi, the characters have depth (more or less), the flash backs give some insight about their actions/where they come from.
