Archive 81 is great, it feels like a faster paced Mike Flanagan series. The fact James Wan was attached is what made me want to check it out, and it involving VHS gave me extra incentive. Mamoudou Athie plays a guy restoring some tapes from 94 when he discovers a connection to himself, a cult and different dimensions. It gets pretty weird the more the story progresses and feels like a more focused Richard Kelly film at times. It looks great and has great acting and characters but it feels like a story that honestly could have been told as a film instead of a series. The wraps up most of the plot while not answering all the questions, and sets up a possible season 2 perfectly.
