Horror fans have discovered a criminally underrated TV show that combines the psychological terror of Black Mirror with the visceral scares of American Horror Story.
Viewers can’t stop talking about it.
Fan are calling it ‘the best horror anthology TV show,’ with viewers praising its unique ability to capture the unsettling atmosphere of internet horror stories while delivering sophisticated television.
“Really enjoyed the show’s entire run so far,” one fan wrote, noting how the series managed to capture something many thought was impossible – the eerie, liminal quality of online horror fiction brought to life on screen.
Fans consistently praise the show as ‘slow-burning, visually inventive, and hauntingly creepy’ with many expressing frustration that more people haven’t discovered this hidden gem.
One recent viewer described finishing the series as ‘an amazing ride’ and insisted: “So many more people should be watching this.”
Critics have consistently praised this anthology series as a standout in modern horror television.
In addition to an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 86%, SlashFilm also called it ‘the best horror show on TV that you should really start watching.’
IndieWire praised how the show is ‘scariest when its horrors are delivered as matters of fact,’ highlighting the show’s ability to present disturbing content with unsettling matter-of-factness.
While Horror Obsessive described one season as ‘a severely entertaining and thought-provoking season’ that creates ‘a cerebral mind-melt of a season that bombards you with some over-the-top gore, as well as things that will hit you in the deepest parts of your soul.’
This innovative series has been described as combining ‘the dark spirit of Black Mirror with a healthy dose of Creepypasta,’ creating something entirely new in the horror television landscape.
The anthology format features self-contained seasons, each running six episodes and based on popular internet horror stories.
Each season of Channel Zero takes a different approach to psychological horror, exploring themes that range from childhood trauma to the dark corners of the internet.
Created by Nick Antosca, who served as writer, showrunner, and executive producer, the show brought internet horror fiction to mainstream television in ways that many thought impossible.
The first season, ‘Candle Cove,’ was based on Kris Straub’s popular Creepypasta and starred Paul Schneider and Fiona Shaw.
It centered on a child psychologist returning to his hometown to confront traumatic memories involving a mysterious children’s television show that may have influenced a series of murders.
Channel Zero aired on Syfy from 2016 to 2018 before finding new life on the horror streaming service Shudder, where all four seasons are currently streaming.
