Syfy
You can watch Channel Zero: Candle Cove on Syfy. The show is based on a popular "creepypasta" (user-generated horror stories published and shared online). Candle Cove centres on one man's obsessive memories of a mysterious children's television program from the 1980s and his suspicions about its role in a series of deadly events from his childhood.
The show is described as "creepy" and "eerie", with one source citing it as "creepy as hell". It features a creepy puppet show and includes suspenseful elements such as the "true creator of Candle Cove" being revealed.
Unfortunately, I cannot confirm whether the show is still available on the Syfy website as the sources did not provide dates or specify an availability period.

Fall 2016/2017
Channel Zero: Candle Cove is a uniquely terrifying anthology series that devotes each season to telling one original horror story. The series was created by Nick Antosca and was scheduled to air on Syfy in the fall of 2016 and 2017. Each season of the show is based on a different "creepypasta," a popular user-generated online horror story.
The first season of Channel Zero: Candle Cove premiered in the fall of 2016. It centres around child psychologist Mike Painter, who returns home to investigate the 1988 murder of his twin brother. A kids' TV show, Candle Cove, may hold the key to the mystery as it aired around the time of his brother's death, and when it airs again 30 years later, another child disappears. Mike has to convince his former friends that Candle Cove is behind the murders, while also trying to protect his daughter Lily, who is somehow connected to the dark secrets of the past.
The show is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Each platform provides a synopsis of the show and the option to stream it directly.
The second season of Channel Zero was scheduled to air in the fall of 2017, continuing the anthology format with a new story and characters. While specific plot details for the second season are not readily available, it appears to involve a newlywed couple who discover a mysterious door in their basement, leading to supernatural or otherworldly elements.

Anthology series
Channel Zero is an American horror anthology television series created by Nick Antosca. The series was initially greenlit for two 6-episode, self-contained seasons, which aired in late 2016 and late 2017 on Syfy. The first season, titled Candle Cove, is based on Kris Straub's story of the same name. It centres on a man's obsessive recollection of a mysterious children's television programme from the 1980s. The show aired for only a few months on a little-known TV channel, and its existence is questioned due to the absence of recordings.
In the Channel Zero: Candle Cove season, child psychologist Mike Painter returns to his hometown to investigate the 1988 murder of his twin brother Eddie. Painter, portrayed by Paul Schneider, discovers that a children's TV show called Candle Cove may hold the key to the mystery. The show is described as a pirate-themed puppet show that could only be seen by children. As Painter delves deeper into the case, he learns that another child has gone missing after the show aired again after 30 years.
The season also features Marla, the mother of Painter, portrayed by Fiona Shaw. Marla is reluctant to indulge her son's desire to investigate the murders but is drawn into the mystery when Painter's daughter Lily goes missing. Painter must put himself in danger to save his daughter and confront the tormentor from Candle Cove, while Marla faces an impossible choice.
Channel Zero: Candle Cove received generally favourable reviews from critics. It has been praised for its creepy and unsettling atmosphere, with an approval rating of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 75 out of 100 on Metacritic. The season has been described as a "slow burn" that works better as a binge-watch than a weekly watch. Despite some criticism of the characters and dialogue, overall, the season has been well-received as a compelling and terrifying addition to the horror genre.
