So this is basically a collection of short sci-fi/mystery stories, like The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, and some stories are a bit weak while others are great. There is quite a bit of cliché virtue signaling, you know, everyone is strong but white men get the roles of the weak or bad. As the series was made by two white men, you can almost smell their fear and see them checking boxes, haha. It's not done well like Game of Thrones where everyone can be strong/good/weak/bad and it's much more real. Some A-list actors, but surprisingly not in the best stories. I'll excuse the one with Bryan Cranston, as that one was just a bit of unpretentious, campy fun as an ode to a classic B-movie, he must have enjoyed that one. While some stories and premises are a bit simple or not original, I still give it 7 stars because I was still entertained and because there were some real gems in there as well to counter my criticism. I especially loved The Commuter, it's original and the sci-fi is just a tool to tell a very moving, human story. That is how you do it.
