I really wanted to like this, but it's just so poorly done. It is done in a similar way as the (far superior) Outer Limits but missed virtually all key parts. Firstly, the "twist" endings could be seen from miles away. Secondly, the episodes were too short to be effective. Finally, key necessary explanations were omitted. A perfect example of these was the episode where the woman had bandages on her face. A toddler would have realized within minutes that the staff were the freaks (it wouldn't show their faces until the end) and the woman was the normal one. Did they really think they were fooling anyone? At the end, Forrest Whittaker says, "Why were the ugly ones considered normal and the beautiful ones the minority? It doesn't matter". Bull sh*t it doesn't matter! You can't just gloss over key plot points because you're too lazy to provide even the slightest bit of explanation. I'm all for forcing the viewer to use his or her imagination but this is just too much. The episode "How much do you love you kid?" was the worst thing ever. I get that these things take place in "The Twilight Zone" but give me something, anything, that can make these scenarios even the slightest bit plausible? I don't know, say a wizard did it or something. Anyway, if it wasn't bad enough, she just murders her own husband at the end and right afterward, seems surprised that it happened. I get that you're p*ssed at the guy, but who does that?
