TV superfans Sandile and Fadzai talk about their favourite supernatural dramas from the 22-episode era, and the characters that made them so memorable.

Each season focuses on a different show, and each episode on one of the top 22 key characters and their impact on the show. But don't be surprised if you see a handful of scattered extras about aspects of the world itself, or minor characters that were too much fun to leave out.

Join us as we dive into spooky yet familiar worlds, and be wary of dangers around every corner - the last thing you want is to fall victim to an "animal attack".
