Falls short
I watched all episodes of this as I like a good horror show. This is far from horror. I love surreal programmes also but this just feels like it's being odd for the sake of being odd. Only episode 6 bad hair made me feel uneasy. As they are all stand alone episodes I wanted to see if they would get better but in my opinion they all just fall short of what they are trying to achieve.
All episodes are filmed really well so that can keep your attention but the acting isn't the best. Personally I wouldn't put myself though watching them if I knew what I know now but hindsight is a great thing isn't it.

Inventive collection of short horror films
In the deliciously wicked vein of the Creepshow/Twilight Zone movies, but with edgier elements, this wonderfully diverse and transgressive collective first volume of dark horror pieces has a mix of retro tributes/dark social commentary/gore/body horror/oddities and general mayhem. The representation of different countries, themes and genres worked for me, with diverse styles at work from a range of directors and performers including a WWE star, a Twin Peaks alumni and unexpected twists and turns. Can be easily watched as individual pieces but I binged the whole lot in one go. Look forward to Volume 2.
