We started a couple spooky series… **N0S4A2** - This one’s a few years old (2019) but it recently showed up on Netflix. A few episodes in, it’s a pretty fun watch. Despite the title (which is the Big Bad Guy’s vanity license plate) the vampirism is of the psychic soul-sucking kind, not the bloodletting kind. I read the book, written by Joe Hill, Stephen King’s son, but so long ago that I remember little of it. So the series, other than very vague main plot beats, is new to me. The son definitely has learned from the father-- many of the typical King elements are there: a mix of fable / fairy tale and horror; psychic abilities; characters who are mostly good but flawed, with messy personal lives. **Playing Gracie Darling** - This one’s a new (2025) Aussie series that also recently showed up on Netflix. An episode in, it’s intruiging, but the jury’s still out. Basic plot: A group of teenage girls (and one guy) have a seance using a Ouija board, resulting in the seeming possession and disappearance of one of the girls (the titular Gracie). Many years later, the now-grown survivors find out that a new generation of teenagers are ‘playing Gracie Darling’, doing the Ouija board seance, and another girl has gone missing. So, shades of the show ‘Yellowjackets’-- young people unleash some evil that follows them into adulthood. **Minor note** : damn, for a board game that can be purchased in any toy store, Ouija boards have unleashed evil spirits and demons a _ **lot** _ in movies and TV shows! They should probably be regulated or something. At least make them age-restricted. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/series-youve-recently-watched-are-now-watching-or-have-given-up-on/946108)._
