Nightmare Next Door (2011)
Love the Quirky Writing and Narration
While the show's writing and narrator can be a bit cheesy at times, they inject a cool campiness that offsets the overall gravity of the show, thereby creating a refreshing balance.
Considering its longevity, the show is obviously doing something right. That being said, if you are overly sensitive and priggish, this show is not for you!

Fargo: Morton's Fork (2014)
Way to ruin a great season (S1) with the last two episodes
As if it wasn't bad enough to end the season on a formulaic happy note where the "good guys" save the day and come out on top--one of whom even gets promoted when she should've been fired or killed earlier in the season, the writers had to kill off the two greatest and most interesting characters on the entire show: Malvo and Lester.
Assuming the Hollywood ending was written to parallel the film's, the writers really missed an excellent opportunity to end the season on a less contrived note, one that didn't stink of the triumph of good over evil theme ever so present in storybooks and mainstream US cinema and TV shows.
X (2022)
The most horrifying aspect . . .
Is how Mia Goth is still getting parts--what with her connection to Shia and all his little "gifts" he loves to give to unsuspecting women. This is not to say that she should be cancelled.
However, from a viewer's perspective, watching her in anything is incredibly distracting--especially roles that are sexual and/or roles that call for nudity. It's like being reminded of the dangers Sex Ed teachers tried to warn you about and being bombarded with a flood of those nasty mental images.
The Loneliest Runner (1976)
The Mother Is a Firecracker (Spoilers)
The mother is a firecracker who deserves her on film or tv show spin off, at the very least. She gets too much flak for being somewhat aggressive with her son, but her aggression stems from frustration with the whole ordeal. She's not versed in the professional diagnoses of bed wetting. Her limited experience with it suggests consistent public humiliation may be the key to stopping it.
Though as wrong as she was, her son and husband share the blame in the boy's brand of punishment. If the boy wasn't always lying and concealing things, she wouldn't have assumed he was just a willful little brat. Case in point, if he had been honest about staying awake during his friends' sleepover, the mother may have realized his bed wetting was beyond his control. In addition, if the father had been honest about his own bed wetting experience when the doctor asked if there was a family history of it, the mother may have realized the gravity of it.
