The main thing I had an issue with with this series, was the monotony of the motivations of all the main characters: Hadrian's so desperate for a father figure that the second the Quiet gave him the slightest bit of affection, he turned from an individual character into the Quiet's hand puppet; the Watchers seem to be eldritch teenagers, rebelling against a distant father (who apparently doesn't even talk to them at all); William is desperately trying to live up to the image of the God Emperor; Alexander, rebuffed by his father, goes against him; Dorayaica, as the dark reflection of Hadrian, fills the so-to-say "good son" archetype for the Watchers (more of a stretch, but I'll include it anyway), and in the end, the character motivations seem a bit too shallow for my tastes. Am I just misreading the series, or is there more to it?<!

It was a horror movie that my dad let me watch with him. I remember, that a couple and their kids go over to the grandparents house, but the grandparents house is like haunted, and in the end the parents die, and its revealed, that in fact the grandparents were behind the haunting, and that they are in fact witches, or cultists, and with the parents dead, they take the kids as apprentices, or sacrifices. I remember that one of the parents dies on a staircase, or just something to do with a staircase. It aired on finnish tv(couldn't tell you what channel), but it must have been, after the yar 2010. If it helps, I was born 2005.
