American Horror Stories: Daphne (2023)
Season 3, Episode 2
5/10
Didsn't I see a Twilight Zone episode like this?

Warning: Spoilers
Oh, right, 'From Agnes, With Love'. Granted, Reid Scott is better-looking than Wally Cox. And there's some psuedo-nudity and sex. If that trips your trigger... Otherwise, save yourself 30 minutes and watch that drivel instead of this drivel. You can at least see Bernard Schoenfield and Rod Serling make the best of it (it was a fifth season episode) instead of this modern-day updating of it, with a gratuitous pandemic and lockdown thrown in as well as the elements mentioned above. Or unless you wanted to see the late work of Manny Coto, who has done far better work both on AHS and elsewhere, than here.

My other issue is... it's not American, and it's not horror. It's horrible, but that's not the same thing. It's lukewarm Black Mirror, but Charlie Booker would be turning over in his grave if he was dead. Why someone thought high-tech horror with no supernatural element had a place in AHS, I have no idea.
