I can't keep up. They have a Swedish one, "Creepy Chronicles", one that's short stories by Roald Dahl (those are pretty awesome), Electric Dreams.

Watching Creepy Chronicles now.

Tales of the Unexpected.

It's from the 70s or so, and some of the plots are really hokey. Actually I guess that's not so much sci-fi as it is just mystery though there are some fantastical elements to some of the stories (and some of them are hella dark).

I don't know why but I really really love the opening scene.

Wow like I can't get over how boring this Creepy Chronicles show is it's like it was written by six year olds.

On the other hand I was thinking, what if QVC had started the whole online retail trend instead of Amazon and then went full circle with TV programming, that would have been weird.

The plot to that episode was that a lady got into a car accident and wound up in a coma and was in a spooky dark empty hospital or something and some chick was going to help her but omg surprise the chick is a demon and then it showed her reliving the day her daughter died and then the demon visited her and then she woke up.

Oh I've seen through that, I really really enjoyed it. I never read the original stories, so I don't know if that would have changed my perception of the show. There were really only one or two episodes that I didn't really like (the Hood Maker was one of them - I loved the art style but the plot kinda dragged out).

It only has a 68 on Metacritic though :\ I didn't think it was any worse than Black Mirror.

Yeah the first couple episodes are kinda silly but then it starts taking a darker turn. I just have a thing for old 70s shows the aesthetic is so cool.

Episode 4 of Creepy Chronicles was just a really poor retelling of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

This final episode is basically just a soft core adult film it's awkward.

OK So I give Creepy Chronicles 1 star because Amazon doesn't let you choose 0. I don't even know what was going on in that last episode, the guy just went on a manic attack and stabbed these girls randomly, it was actually kind of humorous.

Going to try "The Back Pages" now...

They don't have a "continue watching" option on the Fire Stick interface? I have to manually search for that show again jfc.

Oh no sorry I meant a *different* show, the Swedish one is called From Beyond: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7714520/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3

They also have the Ray Bradbury Theater (that's a good one), and... Strange Events.

Nah my OP was confusing as hell so I see how you read it :|

This Back Pages show started off at a 3 star level but I think I'm gonna have to demote it to 2 after these last couple episodes.
