THE SHY YETI RECOMMENDS SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 3rd 2023

This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, is back, but instead of continuing his journey through the history of American television shows that he’s discovering through YouTube recommendations, this time he wanted to make a few recommendations of his own.

More specifically, he wanted to share some of his enthusiasm for the darker side of dramatic television shows and tell me about his selection of the current range of psychological thriller series that have been cropping up on the streaming platforms lately.

And so, VISION ON SOUND is going to have one of those rare weeks when it looks into some of the more current television that’s available, rather than delving into the archives this week.

I know… I know…

But, as the suggestion that we’re selling out to the dark forces of popularism die down, PAUL will be telling us all about the series “YOU” – A Netflix serial killer drama starring PENN BADGELY which currently has been running for four seasons, and the black comedy DEAD TO ME, also from NETFLIX, starring CHRISTINA APPLEGATE and LINDA CARDELLINI which ran for three seasons from 2019 to 2022.

He’ll also touch upon the Horror Anthology series SLASHER, which, given some of PAUL’s past appearances on the show, sounds just his kind of thing. This show has run for five seasons on three different networks, and features a revolving recurring cast of actors in each season, which sounds like a very interesting idea.

Finally, PAUL will introduce us to WILDERNESS, a six-part British miniseries created for AMAZON PRIME, and starring JENNA COLEMAN and OLIVER JACKSON-COHEN which was available for viewing as recently as September 2023.

And, because it’s PAUL, we cant avoid mopping up a few details about a few of his favourites, so we also have a brief chat about the return of NEIGHBOURS, and he tells me all about his latest convert to the sublimely ingenious series that was THE AVENGERS.

The cult of Archive TV Fans is out there, people, and it only wishes to bring more joy into your world. If only you’ll let it.
