It's hit or miss...but all anthologies are. There are good episodes and bad episodes. But this reminds me too much of The Hitchhiker, Tales From the Crypt, and the Twilight Zone to give it a bad review.

It's two seasons of different stories with a basic horror theme for each episode. Beyond that, anything goes. Which is nice compared to American Horror Story when, well, you get stuck for an entire season if the plot takes a bad turn.

There is no recovery until the next year.

With anthologies like this, you are always one episode away from something completely different.

You've reached the end.
