There is really nothing in your review that I vehemently disagree with. I think it's actually pretty on point.

One thing I would highlight is that there are some solid performances in here. Kyle Gallner is great but to me the show was stolen by several others -Brendan Sexton and Keegan Michael Key are fantastic but the duo of Frances Conroy and Robert Pike Daniel was something to behold. If there is such a thing as best indie duo scene, they'd be winning it. Fantastic chemistry and energy together. That first scene with them and Sexton is a moment. It's a film moment IMO. -it's artistry.

There are flaws, no doubt, but scenes like that one compensate for the gratuitous hand clapping. Then again, the world could use more gratuitous hand clapping.
