Anthology series from HBO. Each episode started with a hitchhiker (a young hunky man) talking to the camera and introducing characters and tales. There were all horror stories which didn't shy away from nudity or explicit gore and violence.
The first season was wretched. The stories were painfully obvious, the acting was terrible, there was non-existent production values and every episode had pointless female nudity--it seemed like a Playboy version of "The Twilight Zone". Only the hitcher himself made it OK. He was handsome and young.
Things changed the second season. They got a new hitcher and went out of their way to show what a nice butt he had:) The female nudity was toned down. The stories got better, they got some top-rank film directors (Paul Verhoeven directed one) and even the acting improved. It ended up being a pretty good series. It's not for everybody and the first season was a wash-out. But if you're into horror stories this is for you. Recommended.
