I will go for the oddball answer. The Outer Limits. The originals and the later ones. The episodic short story format works very well for me.
Anthology series are seriously underrated. Remember the Ray Bradbury Theater?
Spielberg had one I recall. Many of the episodes from that show turned into movies. Amazing Stories
We never got those on TV this side of the world, South Africa. I did read a lot of his short stories growing up though. Pulp paperbacks with cracked glue and cello tape where their backs used to be. Even the smell of those can feature directly in a Bradbury short.
I loved the outer limits. I always get the older ones mixed up with twilight zone, but they were fantastic. The newer ones were great as well.
Same here. There is an element of horror/fantasy in there as well. I recently enjoyed Netflix's Black Mirror, which reminded me strongly of the Outer Limits style.
