Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved American Horror Story or The Haunting of Bly Manor, start here.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the "Satanic Panic" of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town's sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported "supernatural activity" triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.
