I had high hopes for Fear Itself but it seems the show has been crippled by unimaginative and repetitive story lines. I don't mind if you're going to beat the Hannibal/Cajun Bad guy genre to death but at least do it with style and in a way that's worth watching all 40 minutes.
It seems the writers have a recipe, get a psycho and manage to kill EVERYONE (or at least suggest it) by the final minute in every episode. Suspense and fear only works if the outcome is unpredictable, it is the struggle to survive that's meaningful.
These guys should take a look at a little gem of a series called "Are You Afraid of the Dark", I think they would be blown away at its creativeness and eventually work a little harder.
