I'm not sure if this was intentional given the main character's backstory and what's going on in the story, but it's what I've elected to believe. The acting was believable, even with the child actors, but there wasn't much chemistry between any of the characters. I also have to give major credit to the props, costume, and makeup departments for crafting thoroughly terrifying, organic visuals that never felt clichéd. Instead of having jump-scares every five seconds, Candle Cove used long, slow, drawn-out shots (sometimes painfully so) to build anticipation and force you to imagine what the heck could possibly be just out of the shot, or what was going to happen. Considering that the creator/one of the writers/producers of this show was also a writer and co-producer for the show Hannibal, looking back I can see parallels in both storytelling and pacing. A huge part of this is due to the production and direction of this series. I'd like to point out that I do not find horror movies even remotely scary-American, Japanese, or otherwise-and "horror" shows even less, so I was not expecting that Channel Zero would be the one to freak me out.
This show genuinely disturbed me in ways I honestly didn't know were possible. I'm not sure whether that was the best or worse decision I have made about a TV series. The few promos I saw intrigued me, though, so I gave the show a shot. Also featuring the now-classic Warren Ellis introduction and an all-new cover by Wood, this is the must-have edition.When I first heard that Syfy was making a show about creepypastas, I was skeptical at best, especially since I never found the story of Candle Cove to be scary in fact, I viewed it as one of the weaker creepypastas out there. The Channel Zero Collection contains the original series, the prequel graphic novel Jennie One (illustrated by Becky Cloonan), the best of the two Public Domain design books, and almost fifteen years of extras, rarities, short stories, and unused art. Hitting on themes of freedom of expression, hacking, cutting-edge media manipulation, and police surveillance, it remains as relevant today as it did back then.
