Each episode ends abruptly; and on parts that simply need to be explained more. It's left me feeling agitated and dissatisfied. It's like they are trying to be mysterious by being obscure and I think most people are tired of the genre of "It's open to interpretation." Messages are vague, and there should be sufficient endings, because I just feel like I'm being teased.

On the positive side, the cinematography is great, and the women in this show are excellent!

Some fine and thoughtful storytelling portraying ambitious and challenging concepts, unsurprisingly some hit home and others not. Inevitably there will be disagreement on which is which, for me the best three are the returned husband, the shelf and the horses. The weakest is the murder story, followed by the disappearance and the duck.

High quality casting throughout with some tightly written scripts packing a lot into 30 minute episodes. A variable, yet ultimately enjoyable anthology.

I was expecting more from this series. The stories felt a bit off, some confusing and like the writers couldn't think of a coherent ending so they just left it like that. Had some good actors, some funny moments, some horrific moments and over all, a lot of sadness. That's all I got from this. Like I said, underwhelmed.

Most of reviews here seem to want to hate on this for being women-centric, and in doing so, they miss that this really has serious issues. Like, each episode has a good idea, but not enough of a good idea to make up a full episode, so each episode has long scenes that serve no purpose, where character is looking confused while looking at what's going on around them. Like, it would be much more entertaining if they made one movie, or maybe two, maybe cramming all these allegories into one movie, and that movie would appear weird, like something Lynch would make, but would be more meaningful than Lynch movie, precisely because of metaphors. That way it could all be entertaining instead of being spread to thin.

You could put none-allegorical stories into another movie. Like story with Alison Brie, that one had 0 metaphors and was pretty much exactly what it was. It is also the only episode (out of those 5 I've seen so far) that didn't need fast forwarding. It might even be good enough to be a standalone movie

Another big problem is that it's anthology series, which, I don't know why they keep making these, like, as soon as you get used to a character, that character is gone for good. Just make movies ffs, no one likes anthologies

Anywho, might have been better if episodes were shorter, cause with exception of Brie episode which could have been longer, 4 other episodes I've seen were all dragging, some could have easily been no longer than 20 minutes to be completely entertaining.

The frustrating thing about these magical realism, Twilight Zone-ish tales, is that they start out intriguing, draw you in, and nearly every one of them ends with an anticlimactic thud.

They are all well-acted and handsomely produced, but speaking of The Twilight Zone, the ending of each of those was the best part!

If the stories these are based on didn't pay off at the end, then the clearly talented writers should have fixed that.
