I second that recommendation. They’re fun—particularly season 3, and I think I enjoy that series more than American Horror Story.
At long last I got the opportunity to watch the fourth season, hip hip hurrah.
Gosh, I didn't remember these are 8 (!) episodes per series, seems a little excessive for a slasher whodunit but somehow it doesn't affect the pace of the story in a negative way, and like the previous series it was very well written and performed.
I'm not sure how it compares to those first three series but I got the impression that SLASHER -
Flesh & Blood is more campy in tone but perhaps it was done with the knowledge that the "And Then There Were None" narrative has been done to death. But never as gruesomely lethal as this Canadian anthology series.
Some parts me laugh out loud, especially adopted daughter Aprha and her bizarre antics.
Dr. Thrin is over the top, like a 1960s Batman villainess, and David Cronenberg can't act but that only made it funnier to watch.
Parody or not, the creators of this series take it seriously enough to make it a genuine slasher, as opposed to American Horror Story that usually starts with a good premise and then after a few episodes it nosedives into kitsch vignettes that takes it further and further away from the original plot.
Such a shame that these great series are hidden in an obscure streaming service and it also becomes increasingly unlikely that streaming originals will get the home-video treatment because that kinda defies the purpose of streaming and subscriptions.
But I hope they're kind enough to consider their international fans and make series 5 and 6 available a.s.a.p.
