Down To Watch

Down to Watch is sticking to scary for a week longer as the Halloween vibes bleed into November with two new Peacock series: Hysteria and Teacup! Dan and Raul made a trip through the NBC streaming site to see what was up with these new horror-adjacent stories they're serving up and the gore was definitely present in Teacup. There's a trio of families trapped on a farm when a man draws a blue line around the property and anyone who crosses it becomes mulch. Internal drama and a seemingly possessed boy ratchet the tension but there might not be enough meat on the bone, so to speak. Then the guys talk about Hysteria, where the 1980s satanic panic might be the actual demonic presence spreading, but one high school kid is dead set on making things worse while choosing to become a 'Satanist', promoting his sick guitar skills and launching his band into black metal. This show definitely zags when zigging seems par for the course, so it might get very interesting. How interesting? These guys know!
