Echoing the enthusiasm, a fan shared: “If you loved Stranger Things, check out Channel Zero. It’s well-written, expertly directed and creepy as hell. Have to say, I’m hooked. Good stuff.”

Another viewer chimed in with their take: “Suspenseful and nightmare inducing. This show has serious potential…I hope it continues down this path.”
