Short episodes, each kind of standalone, scary and oddly very funny.

It's not perfect but it's about as decent a movie as you could expect from the source material, and miles better than the 1987 attempt.

The premise might look simple but it's much smarter than it seems, and probes excruciating places around modern relationships.
