Amazon Prime Video quietly adds one of the 'best horror shows ever'
Amazon Prime Video viewers are urging everyone to binge-watch a horror TV series that 'deserved more attention.'
Three of the four seasons of Channel Zero are now available to stream on the streaming platform, free for subscribers.
An anthology series, the storylines for all the episodes are based on popular creepypastas (horror content posted on the internet).
Channel Zero's first season was based on cartoonist and performer Kris Straub's Candle Cove.
Starring Parks and Recreation's Paul Schneider and Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw, it centres on a child psychologist who returns to his hometown to determine if his brother's disappearance is connected to a bizarre children's television series.
The second season follows a young woman and her group of friends as they visit a house of horrors, only to find themselves questioning whether it is a tourist attraction or something more sinister.
Channel Zero's third season focuses on a young woman and her schizophrenic sister who move to a city haunted by a series of disappearances and, after suspecting that they may be connected to a baffling rumour, they must work together to discover what is preying on the city's residents.
On X, viewers have hailed Channel Zero as 'one of the best horror TV shows ever made.'
Among them is @soomuu_, who wrote: 'This Series is amazing. Channel Zero No-End House #AmyForsyth#ChannelZero.'
@HorrorAddictX said: 'It's time we acknowledged Channel Zero as one of the best horror TV shows ever made.'
Echoing their sentiment, @ZacBeThompson shared: 'So pumped for #ChannelZero's return tonight. The best horror show on television. Previous seasons have had sharp writing, incredible atmosphere and chilling visuals. Butcher's Block looks no different.'
@RHStavis commented: 'Like wtf is this?! Heartbreaking. #IYKYK #channelzero But also if you don't know, don't sleep on this incredible series..'
@cevangelista also added: 'CHANNEL ZERO, a horror series that deserved more attention.'
Channel Zero is not the only horror TV show to have gripped Amazon Prime Video users.
They are also 'hopelessly hooked' on Australian series Wolf Creek, which has flown under the radar since its initial release in 2016. More Trending
A spin-off of the movie of the same name, the show follows Eve (Lucy Fry), a 19-year-old American tourist in Australia, who is targeted by the crazed serial killer Mick Taylor (John Jarratt).
However, she survives his attack and embarks on a mission of revenge.
Both seasons of Wolf Creek, which initially aired on streamer Stan, are now available to binge-watch on Amazon Prime Video.
On Google, viewers have hailed the horror as 'phenomenal' but warned it was 'not for the faint-hearted.'

Daisy May Cooper reveals 'real name' in adorable throwback snap
Daisy May Cooper is known for her comedic prowess and instantly recognisable name, but turns out that's not her real name anymore. The This Country star shared a throwback snap, celebrating the first birthday of her baby boy, Benji. On her Instagram story, Daisy May, 38, posted a picture of the hospital board with her full legal name. '1 year ago today at 03.04am we welcomed our baby boy into the world,' she wrote with 'Thursday 6 6 2924' written below. Written clearly as the patient's name was Daisy May Weston, the surname of her ex, Will Weston, who she wed in 2019. It seems, while she uses her maiden name professionally, the Am I Being Unreasonable? actress has kept her ex's last name. The pair split in 2021 and she is now with Anthony Huggins, who is the father of little baby Benji. She also has two other children; Pip, five, and Jack, three, from her relationship with Will. Daisy May met Anthony on Hinge and are 'madly in love', with the star referring to him as her fiancé in February.

'Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together.' They added to The Sun: 'It felt the natural step for them both, and their friends and family are made up for them.' Daisy herself told Katie Price on the reality star's podcast: 'I'm with the same guy I've been with for a year and he's so f*****g good for me. More Trending 'He's so calming and it's made me realise that I can actually be a f*****g good partner, if I have a nice partner in return, if he's not trying to f*****g control me, or compete with me or put me down.' Benji arrived early, in what Daisy called 'a scary time' with the tot believed to have spent some time in the NICU (neonatal intensive care ward). The happy couple shared snaps of their newborn, one in Anthony's arms and one in an incubator.

ITV releases 'riveting' Amazon Prime thriller that's been compared to Severance
A 'whirlwind' thriller series that's drawn comparisons to Severance is now available to binge in full for free on ITVX. Released in 2023 on Amazon Prime Video, The Consultant was based on the book by Bentley Little and adapted for screen by Tony Basgallop (Inside Men, What Remains, Servant). The eight-part series starred Christoph Waltz as Regus Patoff, a mysterious consultant who comes to the rescue of CompWare, a mobile game studio based in downton Los Angeles, after the death of its CEO. After 'blowing into town' he takes charge of the company and leads with an unconventional management style. The series, which holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and this week dropped on ITVX, was largely well received by critics and fans, who praised its 'slick presentation and diverting twists'. 'The series defies all expectations while sucking you into the strange story,' USA Today wrote in its review. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'This bonkers comedy-thriller burnishes the familiar deal-with-the-devil conceit with chipper, unapologetic cynicism, and appealing performances from its trio of leads,' Entertainment Weekly said. 'Although the official website profiles for The Consultant present it as a dark comedy, it's actually quite horrifying and triggering, especially for people who've traversed the corporate minefield, thereby putting it squarely in the horror genre,' Digital Mafia Talkies shared. 'The Consultant is a bonkers show that is a psychologically twisted minefield,' added. Meanwhile viewers said it was 'bizarre', 'thrilling and dark' and an 'absolute whirlwind'. Although many compared it to Ben Stiller's hit Apple TV Plus series Severance, some said it didn't quite live up to it. 'Severance did everything The Consultant tries to do but far, far better: thriller-level fear of the workplace; a sinister, expanding something-is-going-on feeling; two employees who really need to just kiss each other, now, come on; and never quite knowing if the cause of all the weirdness is supernatural, sci-fi, or Other,' it explained. 'The Consultant, despite Waltz's immaculate lapel-straightening, never quite fills you with that confidence.' In an interview with ScreenRant, Tony spoke mixing the tone of the series, which blended horror and comedy. More Trending 'I think I was led, really, by the novel by Bentley Little,' he said. 'That had a very cruel sense of humour to it, a darkness that I always like to bring into my own work. So that was it really, I wanted to kind of match that style that he'd created, and it felt like we were a good fit. 'He's a very dark and twisted individual, and I enjoy kind of adding my dark, twisted nature on top of his dark, twisted nature. So, we were building on each other there.' The Consultant also stars The Stand's Natt Wolff and The White Lotus' Brittany O'Grady. View More » The Consultant is streaming on ITVX and Amazon Prime Video. Got a story?

'You must be fed up' – Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling's treatment now speaks volumes
'You must be fed up' – Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling's treatment now speaks volumes Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling were an iconic duo on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday, where they shared numerous memorable and amusing moments before leaving the network Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling are great friends (Image: X/@chris_kammy ) Chris Kamara has agreed with friend and former colleague Jeff Stelling over the most embarrassing moment in the legendary host's career. The seamless rapport between Kamara, who served as a live match reporter, and Stelling, who presented the show, was an enduring highlight of Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday. Their time working together was filled with passion, unexpected twists and a healthy dose of comedy. A particular incident that had Stelling blushing saw him corrected by Kamara for forgetting West Ham's transition to the London Stadium from their previous home at Upton Park. Stelling humorously branded the gaffe as the "lowest point" in his time as a presenter. Kamara concurs with his dear pal, telling the Daily Star: "Yeah, it's true, it probably was the lowest point in his career." But the former Brentford and Leeds defender added: "We had so many laughs along the way, too many to mention. What a great time we had, the best of it all. "And those memories and the way people treat myself and Jeff these days, they obviously enjoyed it as well. So that's a great thing." Article continues below Kamara remains known for his signature 'Unbelievable Jeff!' catchphrase that still resonates with fans today, with the love they each receive a testament to their respective legacies. He said: "If I go out every single day, somebody will say, 'Unbelievable Jeff'. And they go, 'You must be fed up with that?' Stelling's presentation of Soccer Saturday was slick, albeit with the odd mishap (Image: Sky Sports News/X ) "No, I'm not, not at all. I'm proud of it, if I'm honest, to have a catchphrase that's got longevity. Don't knock it." Kamara departed Sky as he grappled with apraxia of speech, while Stelling stepped down from his long-standing role as Soccer Saturday presenter in 2023. The pair were unexpectedly reunited on TV when Kamara was hired to report on Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham as part of Amazon Prime Video's Boxing Day coverage, fronted by Stelling. "That was great, absolutely great. I couldn't believe it," said Kamara, who is managing his symptoms of apraxia, a condition that impacts the ability to plan and coordinate the movements necessary for speech. Kamara was delighted and surprised to reunite with Stelling on Prime Video (Image: Amazon Prime Sport/X ) Article continues below "I thought it was a wind-up when I received the call from Amazon. They said, 'We've got an idea. Because it's our last round of games, and Sky have all the future Christmas games and stuff... we've got an idea, we're going to get you reporting with Jeff in the studio.' "I asked, 'Are you sure you want me back?' And they responded 'Yeah, yeah we do.' Nottingham Forest rolled out the red carpet for me, displayed my picture on the big screen, 'Welcome back, Kammy.' They even gave me boardroom tickets. "It was just wonderful, and I declared there and then if that is my last game, then so be it. The last game I covered before that for Sky was when my condition was really bad, Rotherham versus Shrewsbury."
