Some aspects that would put me off in another context (characters doing stupid things, a goofy backstory, „references“ to the subgenre...) are part of the fun here due to the subject matter.

S1, I could not stand, it was poorly written and seemed too infatuated with being clever rather than good story telling. I've tried to watch it twice and just didn't have it in me to finish it. S2 was their best season imo, it's the most cohesive and I enjoyed the story/cast. S3 started so strong but around the mid point just doesn't know what to do and fully collapses in on itself. S4 started out kind of promising but I just couldn't finish it, it felt all over the place and I just dropped it at some point. S5 I liked in concept but it never hooked me, I made it maybe 4 or 5 episodes in (Lady Gaga was surprisingly good in her role). S6 was frustrating, I liked the idea of actors and real life versions of the characters being portrayed but it hit that mid season change up and became complete shit, I got two episodes into the change and I just stopped. S7 did nothing for me, I stopped after 2 episodes, I have been told by friends it got better but it wasn't worth my time. S8 I did actually finish but more out of curiosity of what the hell they were trying to do by smashing all sorts of shit from previous seasons together, the answer was nothing worth watching.inksb wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 6:09 pm I was wondering if that was going to be to any good.

When you think of Creepshow, what's a huge part of it in terms of it's tone/approach?
Humour.
Absolutely zilch humour in this version, tongue in cheek, camp, gruesome or otherwise.
Bitter disappointment for me.
