the first two stories were episodes i head seen and just didn't seem to offer much beyond what i remembered. as kept going though, i was pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed the writing of the stories i was unfamiliar with. the story of the boxer and the wishes was particularly week done i thought and demonstrated all the best aspects of the show. the stories are your classic twilight zone formula with a twist at the end, but there's a reason it's still remembered so fondly, despite the formula the stories are just plain good
