JU-ON: Origins - Season 1 [Sub: Eng]
The series deals with a set of full-fledged events behind the classic Japanese horror epic 'Ju-on', which was based on real events that occurred over 40 years.

JU-ON: Origins is a phenomenal horror series that captures the essence of the Ju-On franchise while maintaining its own unique...

It makes an earnest attempt at expanding the Ju-On mythology without artlessly rehashing its past successes, but it also feels unmemorable as a result, light on scares and mood, and only intermittently attention-grabbing.

It's an odd, not completely unengaging show that tries hard to steer the franchise out of a rut by refusing to regurgitate much of the imagery we've come to associate with it but in its place, there's something of an empty space instead.
