The Twitterverse is positively freaking out over the series, with a goodly number of users being eager to turn non-Dutch horror fans on to it. “Has anyone watched this Ares series on Netflix?” asked user @MikeStuchbery; his query was followed by the word “holy” with too many O’s, followed by another word containing too many I’s, which we will not print here. User @mood_blu wondered, “How the ever loving f**k is this show being slept on?” Yes, it seems that Ares seems to bring out the profanity in many of those who watch it.
Meanwhile, user @shesmessyx stated flat-out, “Ares on Netflix is so f***ing disturbing I can’t finish it.” The series also nearly conquered user @CCTabet, who wrote, “I don’t even know why I finished [Ares], it freaked the hell out of me… I would love to read black female critics’ thoughts on the show — it’s got as much social commentary as a Jordan Peele film.”
Geez, now we’re really intrigued. Like we mentioned before, though, if you do decide to check out Ares, don’t expect a slow start. Wrote user @_angpowers, “3 minutes into that new Ares show on Netflix and I am shook as hell… the only other ‘scary’ TV show I genuinely enjoy is [The Haunting of Hill House]. I have high hopes for this show.”
Well, we know what we’ll be binging this weekend. As of right now, there’s no word on whether Ares will be renewed for a second season — but judging from the responses it’s provoked in so many famously subtitle-averse Americans, we like its chances.
