Channel Zero reliably keeps the narrative tight with a six-episode run and with The Dream Door, Antosca wisely maintains focused on Jillian and Tom’s relationship and the baggage they bring with them. There are some missteps when the focus veers toward unnecessary characters or developments, but the heart of the story pays off very well in the end.

Psychological horror done right. Even if you aren't a fan of creepypasta legends, the premise for each season tells a nuanced, complex story with admirable acting from everybody involved. I'd say Season 1 is the weakest, and yet still good television.

The Dream Door is straightforward enough for a change, but that’s not the show’s strong suit; getting strange, scary, and logically unjustifiable are where it soars--just like a nightmare.
