History of Horror (2018)
Good concept - bad execution

This review is more to concur with a previous assessment and provide amplifying remarks.
Much of the commentary in the series is an elevation of social justice-themed narratives and simply does not stand up to reasonable scrutiny, nor does it offer contesting viewpoints. The commentary comes off as a bunch of high-fiving activism and ham-fisted attempts to definitively frame classic horror movies through the lens of whatever is in modern sociopolitical vogue.
The show, on occasion, hits the important points accurately - much horror cinema IS social commentary. Unfortunately, it also hands out posthumous membership cards for the Woke Army, which is disrespectful and presumptuous.
