    Need to decide if you associate cancellation and critical acclaim with quality or not. You chose to chime in on my recommendation, and I love the show regardless. Plans and pacing change when ratings aren't there. Take Bates Motel, Vera Farmiga is killing it as Norma Bates and overall it's a magnificent show, yet ratings are barely enough to keep it alive. I couldn't care less about ratings, which ultimately leads to cancellations. If you need someone with an agenda to tell you a show is good that's your choice. Johnny Depp has never won an Oscar, and I think he's a greatest of all time..
    So says The Goats!

      No, I don't think it is necessarily associated with the quality of the show, but I do think Netflix is embarrassed by the low quality of the show. Why else would they bury the final season? We also don't know if the ratings for Hemlock Grove are bad (the only info ever released on them indicated they were good) as Netflix does not make revenue from in-show advertisements.
      The reviews are also SO bad and so abundant that one has to take note. Keep in mind, I am one of the biggest Famke Janssen fans out there, so I was pumped and promoting the show everywhere (that is until I saw it). I would also include Cabin Fever in my top 100 favourite horror films of all time, so it's not like I have some bias against those involved. I just truly think it is a terrible show.
      First review for season 3 is in, and, what a shock, it's horrible. Never could have predicted that one!

      And this review is kind compared to some of the reviews of season 1 like the one from the

      which is quite funny.

        Fair enough then but I love the show. The Mrs. and I both do. Its pacing is a bit off sometimes, and I don't care for the African American bro and sis hunters, but the atmosphere is intoxicating if you let yourself go into their world. I couldn't wait to see what the doc was hiding in the vat, sorry proper terminology has slipped since I last watched. Then what happened to Shelley was mind blowing. Eh just my take.

              I disagree with most of you guys. Green Inferno was good, but Knock Knock indeed sucked. Keanu Reeves was the only good thing about it. The story and the other characters sucked. Green Inferno had all the elements, I don't know why people disliked it.

                I prefer Knock Knock, the special effects were rubbish and the film just dragged

                      This Jewish boy is just a gore freak, throws in excessive violence and gore just for the sake of it and to up the ante for the shock value. If he wan't into movies dude would probably be a serial killer. 😐

                          I really don't understand how anyone liked Cabin Fever. Mediocre indie virus movie. Hostel wasn't very great either.
                          Green Inferno was much better. A movie made for lovers of the old cannibal classics.

                            You either love his sense of humor or you don't. Gore contrasted with absurd humor like Winston the Party Man or kid yelling pancakes and doing a sweet ninja move.. You get it or you don't. Something amazingly witty is just lame from the wrong lens.take something like Aquateen Hunger Force for example.

                                Having a new girlfriend you think he would get inspired,and create some of his best work.Like (argento did with suspiria).Unfortunately the exact opposite happened,he got distracted by the bomb ass pussy! And focused more on pleasing his woman to put her in his projects and less on pleasing the actual audience/fans!

                                  Hostel is not a classic. It's awful.
