Tv anthologies


I'm currently making my way through Hitchcock presents. I've watched Tales of the unexpected, Thriller, Hammer House of horror / mystery & suspense.

What other shows are there like these ?

I prefer more 'real world' rather than sci fi such as the twilight zone or x files.

**EDIT**
I've just found this list on imbd if anyone else likes shows similar to the above

This is technically an anthology series, though only two have been produced. If you like real world stuff, I highly recommend both:

The People v. O. J. Simpson (2016)
The Assassination of Gianni Versace (2018)

The O.J. one is in the realm of high comedy. Every scene with Travolta is a laugh riot.

I saw a few episodes of this anthology series a few years ago on one of the retro channels

I'm not sure if you can find it on a TV platform anywhere, but it is definitely available on You Tube and is called "Tales from the Pub."

reply

Thanks. Yes I've found it on YouTube.

They're a somewhat humorous take, but they're short, so if they're not for you then you didn't end up wasting much time on them. I loved em though. My type of humor.
