Fans of the cult hit Black Mirror have been urged to tune into another Netflix series that's got viewers wishing it had more episodes. Oats Studios, which originally aired between 2017 and 2020, made its way onto Netflix in 2021. Echoing the format of Black Mirror, Oats Studios presents a collection of sharp, concise stories, with each episode lasting anywhere from four to 20 minutes.
The official description teases: "Director Neill Blomkamp produces a series of experimental short films that envision post-apocalyptic worlds and nightmarish scenarios.". Despite not being widely known, some may recognise the South African director Neill Blomkamp for his critically acclaimed film District 9. Blomkamp launched the anthology as a means to test out story ideas with the potential of developing them into full-length movies later on.
The anthology spans ten episodes and boasts a stellar cast including the likes of Sigourney Weaver, Dakota Fanning, and Toby Hargrave, reports the Daily Record. On Reddit, cinephiles have recently been singing the praises of this horror anthology after a user sought assistance in recalling the show's name. The post read: "My dad is here for the night, and I desperately want him to watch an episode of this show I can't remember the name of!" The Redditor described the episode in question, prompting a swift identification by another user.
The helpful response was: "Oats Studios! If anyone here enjoys Black Mirror, Love/Death/Robots, Alice in Borderland, and other series along those lines, you might enjoy Oats Studios! It's agonizingly short, but for what we do have? An absolute delight.".
