Asking viewers to suspend their existing notions of all these concepts as they watch to the stories play out is what makes a show like Calls so deliciously engaging - if, and it's a big, important if, you can get past the quirks of the format.March 18, 2021
"Calls" works in part because it represents a change of pace, built around the notion that the horrors conjured by our imagination often surpass anything that millions of dollars in special effects can visualize.March 18, 2021
I fully did not expect to cry and laugh and scream all within the span of one show, and yet that's exactly what these episodes did. It's a fascinating way of storytelling, and I hope that others enjoy Calls as much as I did.March 18, 2021
Somehow, despite not a single actor appearing on screen, Calls manages to be one of the best-acted and well-executed series of the last few years. And it is going to freak you out.
