General Best new series(redux)

[Wiggy]

I recently started a show called Channel Zero - was on SyFy a few years ago. It doesn't seem to have typical SyFy hokey special effects and is psychological horror rather than science fiction. I think it's an anthology a la American Horror Story in that each season is a new story / cast.

The first season is very Mr. Robot-esque (IMO) in that it's quite slow, the pace is a bit wonky, the way scenes are shot are weird (characters in the bottom third of the shot instead of center), a lot of quiet, pensive looks on faces, etc. Not sure if all that makes sense.

The first couple episodes are a bit of a slog to get through as the characters don't seem super endearing, but episode 3 picks up quite a bit and shows a bit of promise. I'm sticking with it to see how it goes.

I'm also currently re-watching Sleepy Hollow from several years ago, too. I love this show, though it did fall off in the last season.

It has me legit laughing most episodes.

If you liked Fringe (one of my all-time favorites), you'd probably like Sleepy Hollow.

I have also really enjoyed From. I just saw that S3 starts on Sunday, and can't wait!

Thanks! I've been craving an anthology. Other good ones:
Love, death and robots
Inside no 9

I have never seen Fringe, either. Will check out!

 

[kvr28]

Yes and the ending is one of the all time. That's not a spoiler!

Wife and I watched the pilot last night, liked it, will continue.

Anyone watch Dahmer? If not check it out.

If you have there's a new season (today I think) focusing on some other killers. Gonna check it out in a bit

 

[kvr28]

Yep, Menendez story, they announced the other day season 3 will be about Ed Gein

Dahmer was rough to get through for me. The dude that played him almost did too good a job. Left me feeling uneasy.

Yea he was creepy.

One of the more difficult shows I've had to masturbate to.

Only issue I had was the freedom they took with the story, reality was messed up enough without embellishing it.

He really did go to military school and got kicked out, though right?

He was in the army and was kicked out due to his drinking

Ok, got it. Thanks. I don't think I ever finished that series. Will try and do a rewatch soon.
