Well.... something went wrong here didnt it? I mean the formula was there, the cast was certainly there, Forrest Whitaker did a great job... and you do sort of believe he was really into it when you watch it, like more than a host, more like a fan whos dream of being Serling came true sort of got into it. So what happened? Unfortunately the story kind of happened. The original series, and the 80s revival had the quality you would expect, but by the naughts revival it fizzled out through lack of decent story. The plot turns you saw coming a mile away, even when they werent playing to the tropes of the genre, it all seemed predictable. And then, it was cheap. When the 80s version, almost 20 years, almost two full decades removed looked better, you are left with a cheap feeling, a feeling that they were relying on the name and the casting to pull it through in the ratings and didnt feel the need to properly fund it at all. So in the end, you have a poor showing with a great cast.
