Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Most notably, during the episode "The Laughing in the Dark," there's a lot of frame drops (slow downs), stuttering, and IIRC, one point where it froze for a full second before proceeding.

Other episodes from season 1 have the frame drop issue sporadically, but it does impede playback. In Season 2, during "The Tale of Locker 22" there were a couple of weird VHS-like anomalies with horizontal lines on the screen that lasted just a half second or so, and I believe there was one part that skipped a couple seconds ahead.

Not sure what good it'll do, but I did send Paramount+ a support email notifying them of the issues in hopes they'll look into them. The problematic episodes play just fine on my DVDs (the Amazon MOD ones), so it's not an original source issue.

There is. I noticed that as well on my Xbox Series X. Was watching and was thinking why is there so much stuttering and lag. Sad that Amazon ended to MOD program as I can't ever get then on DVD anymore.

Also need to email Paramount + and tell them to stop being babies and just add all the episodes.
