Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

Guillermo's long-awaited horror anthology series is a bit of a mixed bag, sadly. However I'm a huge anthology TV fan so I found I didn't lose patience with it entirely. Tonally everything is at least interesting, and while the strongest episodes for me (Prior's unbearably tense The Autopsy and Cosmatos's mesmerically specific The Viewing) didn't outstay their welcome, it's clear the main issue here was length. In stories like The Outside and The Murmuring, the drag becomes very real and plots that need only half an hour or less become almost tortuously over extended. Still, the casts are strong (although some of the accents, less so) and there are some decent scares. I hope it gets another series and we get as much variety in the runtimes as we do with the stories.
