Haunted (2018), 2 seasons
What the series is about : The plot of the anthology series is based on the stories of people who have encountered some kind of paranormal phenomenon at a certain period of their lives. Most often we are talking about ghosts and spirits. Less often – about something completely inexplicable. Each episode is an independent story, which is accompanied by the most reconstructed events with the participation of actors, and the story of a person who encountered him surrounded by people close to him.
Why it is worth watching: according to the creators, the series is documentary, which is certainly interesting, but whether this is actually so is unknown. Nevertheless, the format of the presentation of the stories, as well as their variety, attracts and draws on for further viewing. In addition to this “Haunted” is also a rather scary series in terms of portraying various monsters and ghosts, which is a minus if you like more mystery, and a plus if it is entertainment.
Black Summer / Black Summer (2019), 1 season
What the show is about : The story follows a small group of Americans trying to get to the Rescue Stadium, an evacuation site organized by the US Army. The situation is complicated by the fact that they are all strangers, and of the growing zombie apocalypse around, proudly called “black summer”.
Why you should watch: Black Summer is a high-quality and thoughtful series about what happens to people who do not find a life-saving supermarket, or do not fall victim to an accident, waiting for the first wave of infection in an empty hospital room. All events in the series are shown as realistically as possible, each character is revealed and understandable.
The feeling of hopelessness and oppressive open space accompanies the characters throughout the series, gradually heating up the atmosphere. Thus, in the first episode, you will be able to contemplate only two or three infected, in the last one there will be hundreds of them. In addition, for ease of viewing, each episode is divided into small blocks with ignorance, while maintaining the integrity of the narrative.
