what happens

Season one begins the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the CDC Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph and his team wage war for the fate of humanity itself.

how it went

Left to right is the season — its first episode to its last. Each remark sits in the episode it was made about.

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Read from 93 comments — 9 said when · across 9 episodes.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 9 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
