I'm going to show my age here. But how can no one see that Guillermo del Toro is channeling Alfred Hitchcock presents? So far this show is a masterpiece. The autopsy gave me the first real feeling of horror I've had in years! The premise is genius. His choice of directors is masterful. So far I have not seen anything to say there is a flaw in his work. Or for that matter any of the directors. Kudos to Netflix to releasing this series in small bites. As much as I would love to binge all of this show I really enjoy looking forward to what's coming next. The choice of actors is spot on. The variety of stories is refreshing and truly has been needed in a stale genre for some time. I am completely taken aback at the story lines that this team has come up with. It's fresh, intriguing, scary, provocative and needs to be recognized for what it is. Horror in the 21first century. The contrast with what Guillermo is doing here to what has been spoon fed to the horror fans is astounding. He's letting directors show us what can be accomplished by letting them show their talents. I'm excited to see where this series leads us! Again thank you Netflix for bringing this to us.

Although the premise is good it's expected poorly. Stories are boring and lack substance. Tries way too hard to be current with all the woke characters. But it does do a great job with the kills. It does have really good effects. As far as slashers go it would serve the writers to go back to when the genre started and see what really grabbed the audience and kept them coming back. As much as it likes to draw from the terror and thrills from Scream it misses the mark. Just adding the woke factor doesn't make it a good slasher story. What it does is make it seem like a cheap knockoff. There are series out there that do it far better.

I love shows like a court cam, Live PD, On Patrol and other true crime shows. This isn't that. Okay Just imagine if Jerry Springer and Judge Judy had a baby show with a disability. Just sad. Hard to watch.
