Based purely on line-ups, I see a couple possible duds.

The rest of it looks absolutely fire on paper.

 

[squeekness]

I'll be happy to give it a watch.

I like that Guillermo del Toro seems to be the Rod Serling of the series.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Love what I see

Glad to see we’ll be getting all the episodes that same week of Halloween

Finished Lot 36 last night. I'd probably rate it a 6/10. The writing was pretty generic, and character motivations in certain scenes didn't exactly ring true. Really cool creature design though. Had "Lovecraft" written all over it.

 

[Incarnadine]

I watched the first 4 and the standout so far is #3, The Autopsy. Loved everything about it

Cabinet of Curiosity was pretty good, but I didn't care much for Graveyard rats or The Outside.

I'd rank them:

1- The Autopsy (by a mile)
2- Cabinet of Curiosity
3- Graveyard Rats
4- The Outside

 

[Boom]

So far:

1. The Autopsy (7/10)
2. Graveyard Rats (6/10)
3. Lot 36 (6/10)

The first episode was pretty boring tbh.

Lot 36 spoilers

Spoiler

There was literally a corpse lying in the middle of a pentagram, with a tentacled demon writhing around inside its hollowed out head, and Nick didn't so much as raise an eyebrow. Even in the face of something so horrific, he was just like "Oh cool there's the book."

Like I get he was fixated on the money, but come on man. The fact that he didn't react at all to what he was seeing just did not ring true to me.

The first episode was pretty boring tbh.

I still need to start this. Hope I like it more than you did, lol.

Right now I’m going through The Midnight Club. I might come back to this show once I finish it up.

Myself, I liked Lot 36 because of the Evil Codexes with latin names.
