It sounds interesting. I have avoided it because the trailers made it look freakishly scary.
It has very consistent characterisation, which I always like. It's not a show with an underlying changing metaphor, or even message. Metaphors and parallels are almost always character-over-plot oriented, and only overarc oriented in a way that impacts character. And season 5 has done one or two very good things character-wise, though opening some very big plot questions that frankly have bugged me since day one.
So.
Try it. It is, if nothing else, easy watching.
