The Premise - Questioni morali

Two epidode premiere, big stars, and edgy comedy. It's exactly what you'd expect from the commercials and it's what you're going to get. It's a little slow building up, but it's funny and more sharper than it appears to be in the commercials. If I had to wrap this up, it's a funnier and very edgy Twilight Zone and I'm not mad. Can't wait for more episodes and potentially a new season.

There is no pretence here. Up front the makers say these are parables to make you think about issues that they feel affect American society. In the first two episodes it is racism and gun control.

As a result we have a modern Tales of the Unexpected with a number of agendas.

Like another review I think they should have shown episode 2 about gun control first. It was well performed and tight. I had seen a similar story before but it was good.

Episode 1 was about police malfeasance and racism. As a result it did not really contribute anything. And so put people off.

I don't really think the series achieves its goal of encouraging discussions. Messages forced on the audience without entertaining them never work.

Unique in this aspect, the aspect of political relevance and accuracy ) brings the top and subtle details of this culture war.

Well acted, well built.. a bit unrealistic and exaggerated but its worth the trip.

Some good, some better, some not.

This seems to be a vanity production for Novak. Him wanting to try a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Least favorite, the one about the guy coming back to high school. It was strange on too many levels. There was zero balance.

Most favorite: Hang on, because this surprised even me: Butt Plug. It was brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. There's one teeny tiny hint in there that I played back twice to make sure I heard it correctly (and I did) because it made no sense at the time - and then it made all the sense to the piece.

Frankly, the bully should have been a lawyer!

I admit to fast forwarding through some of these.

All in all, it's worth it.

An interesting mixture of today's hot topics laced with some dark humor. Well written with very good casting. Hope it continues!
