Unlike a movie that is one shot, take or leave, a show asks for fidelity. and that's the thing that makes it great: if you fall for it, it's amazing but otherwise, it's a long, painful, endless drag!
And a show being an anthology is the most difficult task ever because you lose the recurring characters and the opportunity to have great, original ideas at each episode is thin!
This 2nd season of AS is like this: a few good episodes but a lot of bad ones, stupid or just boring. It's true in fact that this season is a bit more dynamic than the first one, with more 80s fun and less 30-40s nostalgia but it's also just flat, just OK. This year no crazy funny episode like Mummy, no scary one like Scorcese Mirror, No Spielberg episode and Dante with its voracious gentle monster has not his usual energy. A lot of episodes about Hollywood inside life are just useless... So honestly i'm happy now that I'm done with that show.
I pick this episode as the best (even if the cop one E14 is a good match too): the story is real fantastic and a great thriller until the last frame, the acting is wnderful with veteran insomniac Durning and the plane crash looks exactly like Spielberg in War of the World!
At last, i say that SK liked it because it can't be just luck: a moving plant; a little girl who got lost in the woods.. Does it rings to you like it rings to me? and for sure E7-life on Death row: a criminal waiting death penalty with unbelievable curing powers! Even helping the director's family who is ill! And in spite of all his miracles and goodness, he can't escape the chair! Well all the heart of his famous Green Mile is over there!
