Eight episodes, eight separate stories created by different authors. I myself do not like horror, but under the influence of the authority of del Toro decided to watch, counting on something from the field of masterpieces of the genre. Alas, I miscalculated. Watching the video was unpleasant and not scary. Sometimes elementary (hygienic) squeamishness forced to scroll individual episodes.
Impression: the aesthetic of dirt. It covers the psychological side of the characters. Over time, it does not matter what will happen to the characters of the series, the main thing is what disgusting scene will be shown next.
I understand that I, not being a fan of horror, do not understand much about the aesthetics of this genre. But if the films were made virtuoso and talented, my impression might be different. The series turned out so well: average and boring.
Patience was enough for 5 episodes.
