07/01/2020 I wish I could review each season. Season 1 was better than season 2. It is funny, but the best and worst stories were back to back. Episode 6 with the aliens was great. Episode 7 must have been written by that proverbial pack of monkeys that eventually hammered out a play by Shakespeare which is a shame because it had one of my fav actors in it, Matt Frewer. Episode 14 Mind Reacher was also quite good. The rest were good to go to sleep by. Except episode 7 that just made me want to throw up. See more Read all reviews
