Quibi tried and failed to create much of a buzz last year with its mobile video streaming service.

The '90s-set show centers on a double homicide that took place in a midwestern suburb.The following Friday, you'll be able to watch anthology series 50 States of Fright.

As well as on Roku devices, The Roku Channel is... Continue reading at 'Engadget'
