2 episodes in so far, and its a good blend of dark humour, serial killer mindset.
It’s a New Zealand Dexter to some degree.

Give it a shot .

I'm not sure who came up with this type of story first(wake up in a different strange world, slightly different than your own) but Philip K Dick probably wrote my favourite version of this with "Flow my Tears, the Policeman Said".
Asimov had a few short stories from the 1950s.

He had one that was about a page long; two scientists were discussing how there was a chance that anything could happen in a universe, then a giant pit appeared out of nowhere under them, and they died.

Sounds like he hit his 500 words! Love Asimov.
