The phrase "not ready for prime time" applies to this season 1 of this new Twilight Zone. Way to much finger wagging, not enough sci-fi. Some are better then others. Episode 5 is the most frustrating. Episode 3 is the best "tip of the hat" to the original show. A real stand out.
The directors/producers need to be more clever. TZ stories would stay with you, made you think. That's not happening with this first season.
Looking forward to season 2, maybe they will pay for better writers have better stories.
