In 1960, Rod Sterling released the beloved twilight episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", which acted a a subtle critique on cold war paranoia. Well written, and culminating in a shocking twist ending, the episode was an immediate hit among fans. This week "Not all Men" tries, and fails to recapture that iconic episode. As with most episodes in this season, "Not all men" suffers from blunt writing, a boring plot and a poor twist. Its messages are not subtle, spoon feeding the audience it's labored allegories and ideologies. Many moments throughout the episode are unintentionally cheesy. Thanks mostly in part to the writing.
This seasons greatest vices have been its sub-par plots, bad twists and utterly terrible writing. All things Rod Sterling perfected in the original twilight zone. Giving audiences chills with its timely messages and eerie tones.
