You know what, after seeing the 1st 3 episodes, I think it's a very solid show, they just need to tighten the plots up so it doesn't drag but the remake of 30000 feet and Replay were very well done and even though the Comedian one was just OK it was very well acted, especially by Tracy Morgan and the Indian actress.

I thought it was going to be a blassic. Then it ended heavy handed and corny as fukk.

:why:

shyt jumped the shark when they went into sewers and shyt to get to the college :dahell:
We know that Jordan Peele likes to reference things. I wonder if...
(SPOILERS)








































































The sewer tunnels were supposed to be either a reference to the tethered's tunnels in "Us", or a reference to the Underground Railroad.

They just keep fukking up the endings man. With the exception of the first episode I feel like they are doing a nice job with the buildup. For the most part I’m really engaged with the episodes. They just keep failing to bring it home. That was the beauty of the og twilight zone. You were engaged and trying to figure out the world they put you in and once you finally figured it out they slapped with in the face with some other shyt. Honestly supreme props to Rod Serling, Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont for doing what they did. As you can see it’s a lot harder to do than what people imagine.

this episode was fukking terrible. The endings keep getting worse and worse and the episodes are too long. They are stretching 15 min worth of story to an hour.

I’m not gonna call the entire episode terrible since the ending was. The episode I felt had a great buildup...up to a point.

A Traveller was better than the last three because it had what was missing from the other three...
aliens

But like the other three, it was too long, wasn't tighten enough and the third act kinda fails.

They kept mentioning the shed and Captain drove out there and Yuka followed, for what? Was it just an excuse so they can see the spaceships? This is my problem with these episodes. They look great but damn it's like they don't know how to end these.

I think that instead of trying to "bring it home" they should just have them end abruptly. Replay would've been dope if they ended it after like the 3rd time, when the office pulled his gun, and just having the camera drop. Comedian should've ended when he got to his nephew. 30,000 was cool.

what channel this shyt come on? :dahell:

It comes on cbs all access, which is an app that you can download and pay to watch the show. The keyword there is ‘can’. Depending on your level of Internet savviness and jbo acumen you might just magically watch the show.
