Calls

I totally enjoyed that. I was up one night and couldn't sleep and was looking for something easy to watch. I had hesitated about watching this knowing there would be no real video just something to mostly listen to. But the way that it was done was brilliant! Never seen anything like this before. Didn't need any video your imagination took over for that. And the visual that there was kept you captivated. It was the perfect movie for laying there in the middle of the night unable to sleep. If you love a good scientific supernatural type of movie then you definitely would like this story. Well worth watching! I hope they come out with a season two!

A TV series on Apple TV+. It's 9 episodes with conversations between multiple people on the phones, and we had the chance to figure out the stories, just by listening.

This had to be one of the most unique, stressful, and thrilling experiences that I have with a series. Each time, the conversations started out fine and realistic, but then they become more anxious and thrilling. On the screen, there were hypnotic and abstract waves that simulated the conversations. However, I found that just listening and not watching the video created a profound experience where I could imagine what was happening.

My only problem was that once I figured out the story, which was fairly early on, the subsequent episodes became a bit predictable.

Overall, an awesome and thrilling experience. Watching in the dark boosted the thrilling feels. 9/10.

I like the stories and how you have to use your imagination to visualize what is happening. It's certainly is different and I would recommend LISTENING to these stories from a cell phone using headphones instead. I felt silly watching the first episode in the dark on the big living screen. Kind of reminded me of the intro of the old "The Outer Limits" tv episodes from the early 60s

Kudos to "Calls" for getting people to READ and LISTEN more.

I mean no offense, but my only thought reading the negative reviews is the haters may be illiterate or have a disorder that would preclude them from being able to enjoy something through the use of reading, auditory sensory input, imagination, beautiful effective visuals and a captivating sci-fi story. I'm sorry for these individuals, although am nonetheless surprised they managed to write their reviews using actual words they had to type and view on a screen (like those in the show).... That must've been a lot of work for them. Or they used a transcriber.

On a more serious note (not that the preceding wasn't serious), it did NOT cross my thoughts even once that the lack of live action or animated humans would be an issue. The sleek, colorful waves that dance around the screen uniquely combine with the tactical resizing and locations of subtitles to capture the plights told by the overall terrific voice actors obscenely well, and amplifies the part where the viewers' imagination comes in to complete the picture.

Virtually all books I've read are better than their screen adaptations, and this multimedia book of sorts manages to intermingle the literary, audio and visual dimensions painfully well, not unlike its subject matter.

Watched Calls in it's entirety in just one day. I must say it was really enjoyable I had an absolute blast watching this show. So many creepy episodes, it's so amazing how every episode is connected and its all linked. I really hope this gets renewed for a 2nd season genuinely excellent show with such a unique concept.
