I listened to some Redwood Bureau and had a draft where I started talking about it, but I left off listening for a while and lost the thread of where those thoughts went. So, some things I remember stuck out to me (and spoilers for the earliest episodes, I guess):
The monsters in "HIDER" and "STAGIS" hit similar beats: they're both some kind of mimic/puppeteer monster that we're introduced to through the body of a deer, and the stories are both fairly gory. One creature seemed to be more frenzied and animalistic in its actions; motivated by the need to hunt. The other felt more inscrutable, and I think it wanted to spread. One ambushed, the other stalked. I want to put these into my personal bestiary, for if I need bring a monster into something real quick.
"DRYER" - the narrator accidently buys and activates a time machine - and "UNREAL" - extradimensional VR headsets - both felt a lot like stories that I would have found in those strange tales anthologies I used to read a lot in school, in the vein of that Roald Dahl short where the landlady taxidermies people. Actually, "DRYER" reminded me of Robert Westall's short story writing (shout out anyone else that read "The Machine Gunners" in class) and I think I liked it more because of that.
"OLD MAN WINTER" is another monster/curse that I want to put in the bestiary. He's like if a White Walker could body hop. My favourite thing about this guy is that one of the signs of his coming is that he sings "Baby, It's Cold Outside", and their best conclusion about why is that he just likes it. The draugr has musical preferences.
