There are far better-written and creepier anthologies around to waste any time on Two Sentence Horror Stories.

Creative anthology series has mature topics, violence.

Common Sense Media

More than many recent adventures into the twist-forward form, Two Sentence Horror Stories finds the right balance and speed for its anthology.

Jacob Oller

Paste Magazine

The formula for each episode makes the series endlessly engaging, though the horrors it depicts aren't always effective.

Granted, the genre is horror and horrific stuff is expected but so far "Two Sentence Horror Stories" is pretty one note and a discordant note in this #MeToo era.

Audience Reviews for Two Sentence Horror Stories: Season 1

• Jan 20, 2020

  Two Sentence' is essentially the Costco brand Black Mirror. This series trips all over itself trying to mimic and repackage the themes and (in some cases) the storylines from Black Mirror. ‘Sentences is heavy-handed and bumbling every step of the way. Where Black Mirror used a purposeful lack of scene-setting and backstory to instilled a sense of mystery and suspense, ‘Sentences' just straight-up made me feel like I started watching the episodes half-way through and subsequently missed some details that would explain what the hell i'm watching. Case and point, the episode "Squirm." It' was a little like talking to a 3 year old. The timeline is unclear and meandering, none of the key questions are ever answered and the ONE potential anxiety-producing plot line is never resolved - leaving the viewer completely unsure whether or not it's appropriate to exalt in the main character's fully-realized revenge. The fade-in shot of the generically labeled "tapeworm eggs" in the final scene might be the most obtuse bit of storytelling currently available on Netflix. WACK.

  The first episode I watched wasn't too bad, but the other episodes went down the woke s*** tunnel. Dear Hollywoke, stop with the PC, pandering crap.

  This is NOT a horror series. It is instead a tepid attempt, at being slightly "scary". Aside from that, it is blatantly "Politically Correct", with Social Warrior propaganda throughout. In one episode, an Illegal Alien is held up as a heroine, and I.C.E. is portrayed as a monster. Some of the other installments should be on teen "After School" TV programs. Of course, in the current political climate, there will be people that are naive, and unsophisticated, along with people on the political Left, that will praise this subpar series.

  Boring. Lacks any real substance. A wannabe Black Mirror

  Its one of the worst anthologies ive seen. If you cant make a good story in 20 minutes without it being as rushed as it is, then it shouldnt be an anthology. There is so much more wrong with the show and other people can explain ever flaw better than i can.

  This show is borderline offensive with how bad it is. Seriously. I'm saving you time. Don't watch this.

  Ugh... Just finished "Hide" and I'm one more cleché *creepy head tilt* away from dropping this show. I usually give a mental buffer for bad acting in Horror...but I'm less forgiving when CLEARLY efforts were allocated to some kind of weird, politically-left, propaganda-esc type undertones rather than the spooky haunts my heart so desires this October. I'm trying to think of a Scooby Doo analogy where I pull off the now not so scary mask of this show to reveal... *gasp!* An Agenda!!

  I loved it from the first episode. Finished the season in a day. I didn't have high expectations for it because there're too many crappy thriller shows and movies lately. But this one is good. Highly recommended if u like plot twists :p

  It seems like a generic version of black mirror. It's mediocre at best, don't get me wrong I will finish watching the series because it doesn't necessarily have a bad taste. The acting is bad the stories have potential.
