Fun little show. Kinda like black mirror meets goosebumps

A surprisingly fun Twilight Zone-esque anthology show aimed at kids. This doesn't mean that adults can't enjoy this as well. The stories have enough "meat on the bones" to keep things interesting at all times. A not too scary show for the whole family. Definitely give it a watch.

The acting is decent, the different settings are fun and the stories are interesting. This is great if you're looking to binge an anthology series. Majority of the episodes are entertaining and range from spooky to sci-fi and it keeps the series engaging. The show has fun with the concept and is worth checking out if like you shows that don't take themselves too seriously.

Some people here are comparing this show with "Black Mirror". Wrong. The inspiration for this show is Twilight Zone (Google it!).

A obvious clue is given in the episode "Shed no fear", where you can see "Serling" in a billboard right next to the pool. Rod Serling was Twilight Zone's creator and main writer.

I'm a huge fan of Twilight Zone and I'm an adult. This show is made for teenagers, but the tone and the script are interesting and entertaining. Who likes mistery and supernatural will enjoy.

If you wanna watch something "creepy" with your kids and teach them some morals - this is the show for you.

This series reminds me a lot of Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark with moral centers reminiscent of Asop's Fables . Each episode is based around some sort of damaged moral, such as bullying or theft, and spins a tale around what could happen if the wrongs aren't put right. Changing every episode, some feel more horror orientated whilst others definitely lean towards fantasy or science fiction. I feel like this is a Creepypasta for kids anthology, a lot of fun to watch and sort out where the stories are leading. Acting isn't top notch, definitely more like Goosebumps in that effect, but it's not intolerable and since the plots were so engaging I didn't care one bit. I highly suggest this to those prone to the weird and eerie stories you might hear around a campfire.

This is my very first IMDB review. I have read many a review over the years but never have I been moved enough to get an account and rate. I felt compelled to review this series b/c this show does not deserve anything less than an 8 collective rating.

I felt compelled because of how incredibly impressed I am with the originality and execution. One episode after another after another continued to amaze me. Another reviewer said it's Goosebumps meets Black Mirror. For some episodes I agree, but not all episodes make a commentary on tech. The ones that do are done well btw.

A more accurate description of this series is Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? meets The Outer Limits and Twilight Zone. There's another kid-focused horror series on Netflix "Two Sentence Horror Stories", but that series is GARBAGE. The acting and execution on that show were consistently disappointing and I couldn't get past 2 or 3 episodes.

NOT THE CASE WITH "CREEPED OUT." So easy to binge watch. So many novel twists and unexpected endings. I was skeptical at first because I wondered how entertained and "scared" I would be by some kid show. One word - VERY. Some of these eps are DARK. I even got nervous after I woke up mid of the night b/c the images from one of the episodes were flashing through my mind and had me on edge as I attempted to delve back into slumber.

What's cool about this show is that it also provides moral warnings for questionable behavior without being preachy. Stuff like, don't press all the elevator buttons you obnoxious child or else this might happen to you. Or don't take your parents for granted.

I am so happy to have found this show. I was invested in the characters, the plot, and the outcomes. So many times I found myself saying "Come on kid! Seriously?! Don't make THAT choice." For a series to repeatedly accomplish this level of investment in 24 min of runtime is to be feverishly commended.

I also appreciate the diverse international cast and locations.

My favorite episodes in order and why:

From Season 1: Trolled - eerie conclusion I absolutely love The Traveler - love the delivery of the ep's lesson Bravery Badge - love their take on zombies Shed No Fear - warmed my heart the message of friendship and family

Season 2: I actually liked every episode from this season so this was hard to pick. However...

One More Minute - cliffhanger, and devastating when you think about the ramification of the main character's actions

No Filter - Eerie AF!!! The ending had me like "Jesus...after all that!"

The Many Place - love the ending and how it turned out to be not what I originally thought. I thought it was going to be about a haunted hotel and it wasn't!

Help - love the character arcs and the use of tech. That little girl! I appreciated how my feelings towards her shifted drastically within 25 min.

Honorable Mentions:

Itchy - I found the main characters wildly annoying but I put this on my list bc I've never seen a story that features lice in this way. LICE!

The Takedown - surprise ending and love the lesson around greed and the take on be careful what you wish for.

Kindlesticks (season 1) - different take on babysitter scary stories theme. I did not see the ending coming. I actually played it back so I could wrap my mind around what just happened.

In sum, I LOVE THIS SHOW. Big time hats off to the writers for putting in serious thought into each episode.

You need rhink that these are stories purpose is not to creep you out everyone said this was aimed at teenagers-kids.If you are expecting a Saw series you are at the wrong show.

I even find it kinda funny how people say it is a ripoff of Black Mirror when there is only 2 episodes revolving around the bad use of teconology.The other episodes when there is a sci-fi element it won't revolve around the bad use of it so people who are rating this low thanks to that don't understand a teen show and that is kind of sad.

But if this is not a sci fi show what are you going to get?

Well think of this show as a modern Aesop's Fables and you get what is supposed to mean,there are stories that instead of animals use Sci-Fi/Horror/Fantasy elements to tell stories that you are supposed to get a meaning of it instead of a fox you will get a cheater instead of a dolphin you will get a mermaid.

And do they work for that?Yeah some stories are quite predictable as you expect what will happen but when this show is as it's best it can really be a good way to tell a good story even the best of the stories could have their own separate movies just for how good they are. There is a lot of filler stories that aren't exactly bad but quite predictable even if they are mostly a good way to do these some of these stories have good ideas but terrible execution but for the most part this is a good show.

The best thing i can come up with is that these stories can be good ways to teach actually good lessons to be a good person,even if these lessons are basic for what it is it works.

My Personal Top 5 Episodes 1-A Boy called Red 2-Kindlesticks 3-Cat Food 4/5-Side Show Part 1/2

I watch this with my 9 year old son. He loves it and I actually like it quite a bit. It is toned down enough for kids, but plenty interesting for adults.

The show tries too hard to be like a more...I guess kid-friendly? Black Mirror. The acting is painful at its worst...laughable at best. The ideas aren't anything we've not seen in Black Mirror before.

Technology can be dangerous when we absue it, you don't know what you have until you lose it, your actions can have brutal consequences.

This series is very good. Lessons learned the hard way. I enjoyed this a lot even tho I grew up with the older TZ. Clever stories to make your teens think. Great job to all creators of this series and the actors.

The stories aren't terrible, though they're mostly remakes and mixes of old tales, but the whole The Curious thing at the beginning and end of each episode is dumb and annoying and makes me want to stop watching.

I thought I would watch a horror series but it is so silly you want to laugh instead.

The acting is really poor, it looks like they're all amateurs actors.

The only thing nice about it is the message behind each episode, but the series still doesn't worth your precious time.

Here's the deal it's not trying to be scary it's trying to tech morels and thing that happen to people irl. Let's say like one of the episodes is trying to say be careful what you wish for and anther episode is saying be carful what you post online

Good series, creepy like they say. It reminds me of Black Mirror from Netflix.

"Creeped Out" is an anthology show with spooky episodes and of course the show will remind you of "Goosebumps". In the show you will find episodes that are actually really good . . . but unfortunately there are episodes that either aren't the greatest or just plain bad. All in all in my opinion the episodes range from a 6 to an 8.

I liked most of the episodes because each episode end was unpredictable. each episode bring a message and a surprising end (specially the last episode). it wont be black mirror (funny - how people can compare that), but its entertaining. Watch with your wife and kid, you wont regret.

...for the children of Millennials. Set the stage with your kids by watching the Twilight Zone New Year's Day Marathon on AMC.

This reminds me of are you afraid of the dark and goosebumps I really wish there where more seasons After watching all episodes i wanted more Sadley there was only 1 season as far as i know off

I like most of the episodes, it's like a family version of Black Mirror. But seriously why male parents are always freaking useless? Don't do any preparation crazy busy morning preparation and or taking care if their OWN kids and babies, and just play guitar? Taking about all of the stuff like they have nothing to do with them. What century i'm living in? I can't even imagine how easy i'd be to live as a male being.

Stared good. In middle of season some episodes were too childish. Reminded me of my childhood when I used to watch so called horror movies but were actually for children.

I'm a parent of a 10 and 8 year old girls and my 8 year old loves this show. It's like Black Mirror but for kids. Totally PG. in fact it's rated Y-7 but it's still has a creepy feel to it for kids w out any disturbing stuff or gore. Good stories too. I think it's good they created something like this for those children who are drawn to more "creepy" stories w out getting traumatized lol

The narrator's voice at the beginning and end of EVERY EPISODE is quite irritating and not needed but the stories are decent.

Great level of spookiness and clever nods to cinematic treasures
