TV Series. Mystery. Thriller. Fantasy. Horror TV Series (2021). 1 Season. 9 Episodes. “Calls” is a groundbreaking, immersive television experience based on the buzzy French series of the same name, masterfully using audio and minimal abstract visuals to tell nine bone-chilling, short-form stories. Each episode follows a darkly dramatic mystery that unfolds through a series of seemingly average, unconnected phone conversations that quickly become surreal as the characters lives are thrown into growing disarray.

	Author	Review
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"If you can go in with some patience though and take to the format, 'Calls' is a real rollercoaster ride of emotion, culminating in one of the scariest, eye-opening and thrilling shows of 2021."	POS
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[It] works well because there is truly nothing else like it on television or as a podcast (...) A complete journey that you can fully experience in just a few hours that will carry you away for a chilling and unsettling adventure."	POS
United Kingdom	Andy Meek Radio Times	"It’s not just the subject matter that makes 'Call's one of the most original shows on any streaming platform right now. Before viewers can enjoy (or not) the content therein, they must first acclimate themselves to the series’ idiosyncratic format (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Tries to reinvent a wheel that needs no reinventing (...) Congratulations, Apple TV+, you've created a narrative podcast and attached a squiggly screensaver to it."	NEG
United States	Jade Budowski Decider	"'Calls' is wholly immersive and totally chilling, a unique storytelling experience able to send shivers down your spine without the help of on-camera actors."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Reminding us that sometimes what you hear is scarier than what you see (...) The graphics prove surprisingly effective in setting the mood"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"Part of the inherent appeal of 'Calls' is that you never can know for sure whether what you’re hearing can be trusted"	POS
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"This audio experience with visuals to evoke emotion is perfect for me (...) You won’t see any actors, but you will hear their voices and feel their pain, joy, fear, anger, love, and every other intense feeling that comes to mind (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
