Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

My son introduced me to the YouTube series and then the songs were permanently in my head. A seemingly harmless show which devolves into dark and twisted chaos before the clouds of naivety block the receptors again and we and the characters go back to our blind conformity.

The first episode looks to be based the following day if the calendar is to be trusted which it could just as likely not be. One minute your going with the flow of lights and colours and tunes and the next your eyes and bleeding and you realise you've been breathing the toxic fumes of betrayal. In other words it looks like fun and games but perl the Veneer away and see the rot within.

Well Done Joseph, Becky and co.

Don't hug me I'm scared is quite simply a very entertaining comedy horror while also parodying the style of children's television shows.

This show is scary. More so than the original YouTube shorts. Not only does it body horror shock you to the core but it's psychological horror is also surprisingly effective.

This show is also absolutely hilarious. It's fantastic sence of deadpan humour really juxtaposed the sheer horror of the situation at hand and also never interrupts the horror when it goes full on.

The show tricks you with long stretches of unsettling comedy only to be suddenly hit with sudden and extreme violence.

You will never predict it's next move story wise, that is for certain.

Absolutely watch it, there is nothing quite like it.

The genius British web-series created by Joseph Pelling and Becky Sloan has been green lit for a while. And after years of setbacks and delays, it's finally here.

The show is toned down and different from the original version. Much slower, and the episodes are mostly dark throughout rather than having a horrifying build-up. That said, it's different, but still a great show. The songs are still catchy, the puppet work is still impressive, and the humor is still.

Honestly, I am disappointed that we didn't get Wakey-Wakey, and that most of us will probably never see it. From what is on the internet. Wakey-Wakey seemed much more in the spirit of the original. However, this new take on DHMIS is still great, and just another reason why everyone should watch the original show.

First off I just want to start by saying how much the wait was worth. It was worth it definitely, this show is one of the weirdest (in the good way) shows I have ever watched. It was like watching the muppets but much more dark and scary. It's so hard to describe why it's such a perfect show, it's more of a "watch and you will see" type good. I hope this show goes on as long as it needs too cause I could watch a 3 hour movie with just these 3 puppets and not be bored the whole time. If you like horror but not too much and the muppets. You will love this show to death. A must watch, and in my opinion a masterpiece. Very short review cause I just wanted to say how good the show is while also supporting it the most I can.

As somebody who is a fan of the original series, in my mind the new series definitely had some big boots to fill and it turns out it's WAY better than I thought it was going to be and I had high expectations. It has the same character and charm to it the original series has while being new and refreshing! Its got a great dry/dumb sense of humor and it leaves you with more questions than answers- in the best way possible! It is a brilliant watch for people new to the series and a great watch for old fans returning to the series. Whether you've watched the original series or not, I'd recommend to definitely watch this on All 4 if you have any free time! 9/10 love it 😊
