Historias para no dormir

As it has been pointed out, some stories are weak and in other cases, it is better to see the original series by Chicho Ibañez Serrador. Having said this, if you want to try, start watching "El transplante", story must be known but performances are good. Contrast between realities are well expressed and the complete absence of humanity is really something. At least this story, in my view, achives the purpose of transporting the viewer to that utopia and make you think a little bit. Ideal for watching in this Christmas season so we can be closer to other beings and forget, for some time, the need of being to involved in our own selfish reality.

More of a remake or a reinterpretation of some of the original series' episodes rather than brand new stories, this series works the nostalgia and the homage wonderfully. Not as stunning nor unforgettable as the original though, but two of the episodes ('The Double' and 'Freddy') are the main draws to watch it and enjoy the new twists and turns along the way. A mostly worthy revival.

S01 - (6.5) The runtime of some episodes may be too short to tell satisfying tales, but the star-studded talent in front of and behind the camera are more than enough to carry this anthology series to 4 enjoyable viewing experiences.
