So after hearing about this show through reviews & internet searches of the Canadian counterpart show, Curious & Unusual Deaths, I decided to check this out.
Now while I haven't seen full episodes, I have seen the 2 & a half minute segments on YouTube from random different episodes. So far I can safely say after binge watching these segments (which appear in my recommendations) that this show has way more to offer! While a couple of the deaths maybe simple, plot holed & flawed, the segments don't half make you either laugh, scoff or look in awe at the end result!
I love how the series' campy, wacky colourful tone! It reminds me me of those Straight-To-DVD Films or The Final Destination or the Piranha Films, the deaths while sinister have a dark tongue-in-cheek humour to them! The stories themselves are a mixture of mishaps & dodgy decisions from the victims in each segment & you always find yourself guessing how each person is going to die.
The negatives while few & far between, are the minor errors like the timeline in which some of the segments are set in. The segment Re-Formed, which sees a man being crushed by a refuse lorry compactor, prior to the incident happening, he tries to steal a Flat Screen TV from the back of a delivery lorry, yet the start of the segment states the date as 24th March, 1989!! Or the other episode where a man gets his eye impaled with a sharp pole, the segment is set in 1993 however a teen whips out a Smart Phone!!
But aside from that the show has a lot to offer! Some of the stories scream BS, while others are very Dark Web esque! The campy, whack & colourful tone make this show, even though some of the acting which does come off as fake doesn't help actually works somehow! A lot of the segments scream Final Destination given how they're carried out!
Overall a great show! Not for the faint hearted! 9/10
