    Odd surreal series
    A series of narrated stories apparently based on real-life supernatural-type experiences. All the tales are primarily narrated with minimal dialogue from the actors portraying the characters. It's a format I've never encountered and gives the episodes a kind of eerie, otherworldly quality. It also puts the viewer at a remove from the characters making us feel like voyeurs observing odd bits of life. The episodes are short and the quality varies but many are intriguing (though none are particularly scary).
