I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. The directing and acting were totally fine but the episodes could easily be 10-15 minutes shorter because there is so little actually going on.

I enjoyed the first 3 ones, specially "The Autopsy". The rest goes from awful, like "The Outside" to just uninteresting...

The one titled The Autopsy was fine. The rest are a waste of time. Some of the shows might start interesting but will end up boring. They extend the length of the shows for no reason at all. The endings are sloppy, dumb, or bad. I would notThe one titled The Autopsy was fine. The rest are a waste of time. Some of the shows might start interesting but will end up boring.

I give it a four because there are some good actors involved, unfortunately, the material was poor.… Expand

It's... Ok. Every episode suffers from the same problem: bad endings. Some endings are mediocre (Lot 26), and some are straight up dumb (Dreams in the Witch House). The only episode that was good all the way through is The Autopsy. It's aIt's... Ok. Every episode suffers from the same problem: bad endings. Some endings are mediocre (Lot 26), and some are straight up dumb (Dreams in the Witch House). The only episode that was good all the way through is The Autopsy. It's a shame because I enjoyed almost all the episodes up until the endings. There's a lot of good atmosphere and acting in there. I particularly enjoyed Crispin Glover as Pickman.

Unless you are a die hard Del Toro fan or just a completionist, watch The Autopsy and skip the rest.… Expand

Its a woke sh*t show. So sad to see even a Guillermo Del Toro project fall to identity politics. First episode 'reminds' all viewers that "America is full of systemic racism". I loved the Hellboy movies and all his previous projects, butIts a woke sh*t show. So sad to see even a Guillermo Del Toro project fall to identity politics. First episode 'reminds' all viewers that "America is full of systemic racism". I loved the Hellboy movies and all his previous projects, but this is not entertainment. Just Left wing lecturing. (Might as well watch the abortion that was Damon Lindelhoff's "Watchmen" series on HBO.) RIP Mr. Del Toro. :-(… Expand

Not scary, not that original, not even very well made. Each episode starts off with a done-to-death premise, and then shows way too much of the "horror" by the end, making it pretty unscary, and close to comical.

So, if you have ever seen a B-rated horror movie and thought, hmm, I'd rather be stuck in traffic with my mother in law in the lane next to me, window down, reminding my of last years' streaking attempt at the family Halloween dinner guess what.

An excellent horror anthology that gets progressively better with each episode. Not a bad one amongst them.

Can't wait for season 2! Del Toro gets some of the most talented horror genre directors and creates remarkable series.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although this series is not so much “horrifying” as it is gory, this series shows us just how interesting and well-directed a series can be. From the intro’s of each episode, to the plot, and cinematography, we get to really see into the genius mind of Guillermo Del Toro and the directors chosen for each episode. Yes, I watch a lot of horror and was expecting more “fright” from this show, but I still could not stop binging from start to finish- and I’m certain that you’ll be the same. Much like Black Mirror, this series isn’t particularly interconnected nor bone-chilling, but again, much like Black Mirror, this is a series you won’t won’t to stop watching.… Expand

Good prologue for every episode. While most episodes have an interesting start, many also have no interesting development or satisfying ending.

Most boring episode was definitely "The murmuring".
I am disappointed by this promising show. The old Tales of the Crypt remain far more entertaining.… Expand
