Scott Williams Washington Post Sure, the comics were junk. But they were really GREAT junk! The same goes for Tales From the Crypt. Jun 16, 2018 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club The series could be downright chilling on the rare occasion that it wanted to be. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Andrew Roberts Uproxx One of the most satisfying episodes of the entire series, "Top Billing" features actors playing against type - namely Jon Lovitz playing a Shakespearean actor. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Nicole D'Andria Screen Rant MacLachlan does a great job as the villainous death row escapee. He's so evil that he has to monologue about it, which makes for some dark and funny moments. Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Filip Vukcevic IGN Movies With such a huge roster of talent backing the show you'd think that there would be more artistic merit to these episodes.
