One of the biggest things that stands out about the show is the fact that it manages to actually be scary, which is a feat few TV shows (and even movies) have been able to perfect. The show's decision to exercise restraint in a genre that tends to veer into shouty Bible verses and splashing holy water makes every jump scare, graphic close-up, and moment of psychological terror that much more frightening. The writers leave room for tension to build and build and build, so when they finally draw back the curtains to reveal a possession scene in all its gory glory, it hits like a freight train instead of a cheap thrill.
