I thought you liked it?
I said, after the first four eps, that it was good BUT could go terribly wrong.
It sure did.
Depressing
dreary
derivative
disgusting
One thing I liked: how they figured out how to kill the beast!

Seen the first episodes of each of these three now.
MASTERS OF HORROR was disappointing. Rather hokey, literal, "90s" aesthetic going on, even if it was produced in 2005. But I'll continue watching, and hopefully it picks up.
CASTLE ROCK also seemed rather sluggish. A bit confusing setup for the main storyline, I though, and not terribly exciting (btw, I had no idea this was set in the Shawshank prison; makes sense that they had Thomas Newman write the opening theme, I guess, even if it sounds nothing like his SHAWSHANK score).
Same with ELECTRIC DREAMS. Could hardly understand what the male protagonist said (some broad Scottish accent?), and the adaptation of the Dick story seemed lacklustre.
BUT...hopefully, all of these will pick up eventually. I'll continue to stick with them for some time yet. Sometimes with new shows, first impressions can be deceiving.

I was really looking forward to Electric Dreams but ditched it after about three episodes. Like a lot of Dick's short stories there were interesting ideas but they weren't really expressed in the best ways.
Masters of Horror was equally disappointing. I watched a few but didn't really enjoy any. The John Carpenter one seemed loved by fans but the script was pretty bad.

Yeah, I had to jump ship on MASTERS OF HORROR (sorry, Bruce!). I couldn't take more than half of episode 2, and only a few minutes each of episode 3 and 4. I realize all the talent involved behind the scenes here, but it's the kind of hokey, melodramatic "schlock" that doesn't appeal to me. As I said, it looks like it's made in 1994, and I would probably have enjoyed it more, had I seen it then.
ELECTRIC DREAMS, however, is interesting enough that I'll watch the whole thing. Although the Steve Buscemi episode I just started watching was godawful, and I had to turn off after 20 minutes.

Hope you watched the MOH ep about dead US soldiers resurrecting to vote in the election.
The Buscemi ep was week.
But others are quite engaging.
Brm
Btw have you seen THE HUNGER from Canada. More softcore porn than horror but worth a look.

Haven't seen THE HUNGER, no. Does it have anything to do with the Tony Scott film?
lf.
Not really. But, David Bowie was the host and they WANTED you to think there was a connection.

Added the new Netflix show THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE to the list.
Looking forward to this one!

NETFLIX bombs again:
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
The lead recites her lines as if in a table read.
So darkly lit it is laughable.
The SJW content is so in your face it plays like SCTV,
(as bad as HILL.HOUSE) .
Watch BUFFY reruns instead.
Brm
P.s. Thor loves it, no doubt
