The way I see it, inside no.9 is about pushing the boundaries of television, constantly incorporating new ideas and genres into a 30 minute slot. This episode, whilst not amazing in any sense, shows exactly why I love the show as a whole, they are willing to be dangerous. I would much rather three out of every six experimental episodes are amazing than just 6 very average dark comedies. At this point the show is a lottery, but that's why people love it, one week you get a theatrical bank heist the next you get a vampire in the police.
So, overall, whilst this episode was not the greatest, it shouldn't be seen as bad, because if you don't like it, you don't like the process Reece and Steve take to be innovative.
