Not the only response but I haven't seen it in the comments and it's a simple answer without room for a semantic argument. People with that kind of attitude will often be dismissive of any response over three words in my experience 😂

Identity theft.

Oh man I can't belive I forgot to include Severance, best show of 2022 in my opinion. I totally agree with you about it ending after season 1, I think they wrapped it up perfectly. I also wish they'd done that with the OA. I do think Severance would have been better if they'd included less "outie" stuff and/or introduced it later - don't want to spoil this for anyone else reading but I think the moment you see Mark's face change from fear and devestation to a completely neutral expression (you know the one) would have been a perfect time to start introducing the outside world.

Have you listened to Alice isn't Dead? It's in a sort of grey area where it could be interpreted as sci fi or supernatural horror. It's by the creators of welcome to nightmare but way more suspenseful and creepy with less of the light hearted comedy elements.

I'll definitely check it out! Book Annihilation is very different than movie Annihilation although until I read Chaga I can't really give an opinion on whether it's ripping off anything from it. I did a fair bit of research about the book for a university essay and didn't find any secondary sources comparing the two that I can remember.

I've been going through all these suggestions with my friend trying to figure out where to start, and we ended up watching Coherence at like 2am last night. I loved it thanks so much for recommending!

I didn't personally enjoy Blade Runner or do androids dream of electric sheep, maybe I should give some of his other works a go though. I know he's considered an OG. I subscribed to the Dracula mailing list thing so have been reading it for about half a year now haha
