Yellowjackets (2021)
Visceral. Intense. Spooky. Thrilling.
Lord of the flies meets Lost meets The Exorcist.
You're not ready for a series like this, believe me. But if the first scene doesn't grab you and sit you in your chair to watch the entire series, I don't know what will.
The acting is superb, the teens and the adults actually have the same cadence and facial expressions. The writing is in the format of "This Is Us" that frequently does time travel scenes, constantly keeping the audience on their feet.
This is truly one of the best series I've seen ina long time.

Dark/Web (2019)
Conceptually Black Mirror series without the acting
Anthology series have been all "the rage" since so many recent series have taken off in popularity. This show hits the nail on the head with the unique presentation of different technological nightmare stories wrapped in an overall story that is more mystery than the one-offs.
The content for the mini-stories is very good; however, the series really loses its luster with the terrible overacting from the overall story's characters; pregnant awkward pauses and faux showing of concern makes it almost hoaky at times. Truly, if this was presented just like Black Mirror where there's no context to worry about, this would probably be a very popular series. Alas, the writers tried a little too hard to weave more of an original idea within the anthology construct, and with any decent acting, this show hits a home run.
