I loved how it showed the strength in surviving. And how it drew connections between the abusive relationship of Margaret and Kal and Margaret and the house.
I was scared for a bit when they were playing with the idea of "the schizophrenic is the killer again" trope but felt better when it differentiated it from the typical case saying it happened in only extreme circumstances. And I liked it even better when it was actually haunted.
And I have very mixed feelings about Katherine.
