For the sake of writing and themes you gotta leave things to the imagination. In many cases things are better left unsaid, and id say this advice should be applied as often and aggressively as possible on your posts

“tales from the loop” was another devastatingly bad scifi anthology. literally goosebumps tier writing

yeah, i was thinking of that one because i can just tell that it's going to be bad but eventually i'm going to watch it, probably, lol.

horror is the same way, whenever i say i liked the mike flanagan shows people recommend stuff like american horror story or penny dreadful.

they keep trying to do sci fi anthology things, like that philip k. dick mini series that amazon did, the twilight zone revival, but there always seems to be something missing. i watch them even if they're bad now because i just need it once in awihle.

i watched the first episode of the new twilight zone and hated it so much id get pissed when i saw kingo on other shows

I read the books and they were actually good detective novels set in the future and now I sit here wondering how they hosed it up for the show so bad lol. They just kept the name and the concept of a quirky AI hotel, who was barely even a secondary character in the first book and was basically just window dressing. Anyway the books are decent, I give them a 7/10.

tv is tied with interpretive dance as the worst medium of all time

The last episode of the first season features a Bioshock-level animated CGI Rod Serling with a Caliendo-tier voice actor. poo poo’s epic. Google “blurry man” lmfao and no that is not a joke.

About five minutes before I saw him I knew they were going to put Rod into the episode (I watched the whole season out of morbid curiosity and mild disbelief) but I thought it was going to be some as tasteful as possible composite photography type poo poo, but it was that.
