Channel Zero (2016–2018)
10/10
Easily the best thing SyFy has ever done. Criminally Underrated.
7 September 2021
This collection of stories rose from an artistic desert, like a saviour. Along with HAPPY!, it gave SyFy credibility back.

You can shove Lovecraft Country, Shadow and Bone, and all those Also-ran boring shows down the garbage chute and pile the cesspit output down after it.

Nothing has topped Channel Zero. Not yet. Its on a par with BLACK MIRROR.

My personal favoritism -

"You have to go inside ..."

CANDLE COVE is Good, but not Outstanding. Definitely made me pay attention though. Definitely responsible for me watching NO END HOUSE ...

"They don't want us to leave ..."

NO END HOUSE is Genius, Outstanding, and one of the Best Things I Have Ever Seen On TV.

"Landlord's a prick ..."

BUTCHER'S BLOCK is Amazing, but not as good as NO END HOUSE. One of Rutger Hauers last outings (his last, I believe, apart from the unsettling game OBSERVER), and he is awesome in it.

"Doncha remember, you told me you love me, Baby ..."

DREAM DOOR, is a bit of a mess, but it's still Great, and slightly better than CANDLE COVE.

Your opinions and mileage will vary, of course.

But this is one of the best SciFi/Fantasy/Slipstream things to hit TV in years.
