The Ghost Town Terror (2022)
So much potential, but criminally boring
A ghost town, a haunted family, a co-host with actual knowledge of tales of haunting and cryptids across cultures (Sapphire). I was all in on the premise. Unfortunately, the show was instead about the other host, Tim, essentially trying to fit any tiny shred of potential evidence into his ideas about what could be causing issues. He even turns a hacking cough during the time of Covid-19 into evidence of the paranormal. He's also painfully boring as a host, which combined with seeing everything through his own religious beliefs of demons, just sucks the fun and interest out of the show. I fully expected all kinds of interesting info and legends from Sapphire, but so much time was wasted on Tim and his nonsense. And the family - they had to go along with his ridiculous exorcism. A waste of a concept. Maybe another production will do it better.
PEN15: Jacuzzi (2021)
A good solution to make content during the pandemic
It feels like this episode was written for live action, but given the pandemic and the young age of some of the actors, animation was a good way to still put out the episode and keep the cast and crew safe. I enjoyed how Anna and Maya were animated to look how they felt about their appearances rather than how they actually looked, but outside of that the animation wasn't utilized for anything special. A missed opportunity. Overall watchable, relatively enjoyable, but hopefully not a theme for future episodes.
