I like the top 3 a lot for different reasons, but The Autopsy just seems like the most engaging episode in the whole series. The Murmuring felt out of place in the show me but I enjoyed it. The Outside and Lot 36 weren’t particularly good or bad, I just wasn’t that invested in anything happening to the characters.
Finally, I really didn’t care for the two Lovecraft adaptations. They’re both way more convoluted than the original stories and I just don’t understand why aside from trying to pad out the episodes for an hour long run time. The second half of Pickman’s Model completely destroyed my suspension of disbelief and the melodrama in Dreams in the Witch House fell flat for me. Those two stories would have benefited the most from being slow burns but instead they have the most special effect and CGI.
Kind of reminds me how Cthulhu’s actual appearance is almost the least important aspect of “The Call of Cthulhu” but a squid-headed Godzilla monster is the image that everyone is attached to in popular culture.
