English The absolute king among all episodes. An episode where the atmosphere is so thick you could cut it with a knife. It's perfectly directed and brilliantly handled in terms of the script. An episode that shocks you a few times. An excellent piece that I'll definitely revisit. David Prior and David S. Goyer truly shone! Luxurious. For me, it's a 9/10. P.S. And those practical effects? Guillermo del Toro is the best :). ()

English The first story driven by a likeable character (played by the charismatic F. Murray Abraham), and the first downright satisfying episode that beautifully manages to capture the atmosphere of 1950s literary sci-fi/horror stories. Also, after The Autopsy of Jane Doe, another excellent procedural horror film from the autopsy room, and that doesn't happen until the second half. I must follow David Prior in the future. ()

English Here the Cabinet of Curiosities has risen again. The exclusive episode titled Autopsy is similar in quality to the previous two episodes, but this time it offers something a little different. The story takes place on the autopsy table, where a doctor examines the bodies from an explosion in a mine. To simplify it. The night atmosphere at the autopsy table is so intense that you would hear a pin drop at your dining table, which could be located calmly even through two robust walls. Fahrid Murray Abraham is brilliant here and the whole thing stands and falls on him, basically. The conclusion is again quite intense and the punchline is more practical than shocking. ()
