There are many things I liked about this episode, the conversation of culture alienation between Christmas and the traditions of the Inuit people, the great choice and timing of the music which strengthens each scene, and the great acting of Steven Yeun, Marika Silva, and Greg Kinnear. It was all executed well until a certain point was reached, then the narrative changed. It's like the story did a 90 degree turn just for the sake of being unexpected. All the suspense that was built up within the last 30-40 minutes just vanished, then by the time the ending arrived it left me feeling disappointed more than shocked or confused.

With this episode, this show has hit a new low. It wants to be both scary and witty, intriguing and amusing, but fails to evoke any sort of emotion other than sheer boredom. Weird camera angles and blurry scopes are not scary if you are not under the influence.

It started out good and had promise, but it ended like a TV commercial for a life insurance. Still waiting for a good episode of this show that doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence. It just keeps getting worse tho.

Honestly, I don't know why people watch shows like TZ if they can't take the merest hint of a mental challenge for fear that it may shake their fondly-held beliefs. Isn't that a significant part of the point and appeal of the show?

It makes one wonder how staunch those beliefs are in the first place when someone finds "beyond offensive" the notion that Christmas may be a myth, doesn't it? I don't know - so many snowflakes at Christmas!

I think there was a lack of sophistication in the ending - all a bit obvious - but that's true of more than a few of the original TZ episodes, too. I'm a huge fan of the original TZ but let's be honest: some of them were pretty poor when viewed through a modern prism. I had that feeling watching the end of this one - what might have worked in the 50s/60s all seems a bit old hat now.

Loved it from the eery Alaskan atmosphere to the suspense that just kept building and building, the acting, the music, the reveals etc. I see all these negative reviews from people who bring up the original series, hold them to some high standard as if they are perfect when many of those were flawed in the pacing and logic.

The new ones are more sophisticated in the writing, have better effects. But, equally fit the Twilight Zone brane. Is an hour too long? Perhaps but at no point did I feel it drag on. Welcome to today's audience where people just like to complain, don't want to have to think too hard or know what they are upset about. Lol.

I felt i had to write something to defend this new take on legendary "TZ" series by Jordan Peele. Maybe times have changed, maybe i m stuck, but really i dont get the low buzz. Older B/W episodes are pioneering and unsurpassable but i think we should always keep an open mind. The pilot was great, 2nd episode so-so, 3rd was mediocre and this one is maybe the best so far. Jordan Peele seems like a crusader for the genre that i love and have been "studying" all my life and i am all-in being supportive for his intentions and ideas. I think fans of the curious/bizarre/semi science-fiction/ thriller/mystery should be on his side too. This episode stars one of the most interesting new actors around, Steven Yeun was fantastic in "Burning" (a must-see) and carries the story. Its a shame that not a lot of you can "sacrifice" an hour every week to check this new installment. I encourage you to, especially fans of the genre thats been "on the outside looking in" for so many years and Peele is surely giving it a much-needed boost

The episode starts with the first 10 minutes being a senseless filler that could have been narrowed down in a 2 minute sequence. Also, the mystery aspect of the narrative lacks depth, the narrative is also stretched out to the point that the episode doesnt have many highlights for great lengths of the episode. The relaunch of TZ has been an overall disappointment.

My favorite episode thus far (judging from the episodes prior to this one). Steven Yeun's acting was really great in this and his creepy smile gave me goosebumps throughout the episode. Having been a fan of the previous series I can say that the plot was somewhat predictable but the way Steven acted it out really made it that much more creepier. I couldn't of asked for a better actor to play this kind of role. If you're going to watch just one episode to get an idea of the kind of series this is, this is the one to watch.

Peele's The Twilight Zone revival started off with "The Comedian", which had many flaws, but in the essence, was a decent episode. I thought it would get better by each episode, but "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet" and "Replay" turned out to be predictable stories with not much to offer in regards to a "revival". With " A Traveler", The Twilight Zone revival finally has a story that deserves to be branded as twilight zone-ish. Steven Yeun's haunting performance also contributes to the eerieness of the episode.

Decent work!

That was not fun. Don't want to give away spoilers but I will say one thing to help possible viewers; don't waste your time. I was so excited for this show but the show has been bad. Great actors and promising ideas but it feels to me, they wrap it and no one is watching the final product. It's been bad, please fix it, their is still time.

Story: Mysterious stranger trope. Who is he, what does he want? This episode had a Stephen King vibe at first, but that quickly shifted towards a vibe of 'Huh, what?" as the story introduced elements that seemed to be added just to pad it out a bit to fill in the run time.

Direction: Ok, by now I'm starting to wonder why these episodes don't feel as unsettling or weird as they could be, many reviews blame the writing. Most of the stories so far have had decent premises for a good Twilight Zone story but fall flat because they lack the tone. I believe that the direction and story editing may be the weakest link.

Acting: Great, Greg Kinnear and Steven Yeun were fantastic. Yeun played the friendly yet menacing stranger well and the scenes between him and Kinnear were well done.

Twilight Zone-Factor? As this story unfolds and we realise the true nature of the stranger, we should be anxious about what is about to happen, instead we get a scene with them eating pie.

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

In this episode the events take place on Christmas Eve in a small Alaskan town. A man mysteriously shows up in a jail cell asking for a pardon from a local sheriff. The sheriff is known for giving out one pardon on Christmas Eve. However the traveler raises questions in a female deputy.

Great story but it should have been a little longer so the loose ends could be tied up. Worth watching "ONCE"

This episode had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I just loved it. Very gripping. Mysterious and funny with underlying morals to tell. I'd say more but I'd hate to spoil it.

Episode 4th was fantastic, the acting, the suspense was up to the standards of The Twilight Zone show. I'm very happy so far with all of it. Love it! Please watch all the little details in the show...are really great.

Unfortunately, people nowadays are so numb about everything as a result of so much choices of tv shows, movies, and to all the things we have been exposed to. We have lost that innocence that viewers had in the '60s.

Please, don't trash the show!

Very mysterious and interesting for the first half, but towards the last quarter begins rushing and totally deflates the anxiety it had earned before. Great acting all around and the music is the first in this new series I actually noticed and appreciated, but that storyline really falls apart. Nailed the atmosphere, but just couldn't stick the landing. They're getting close though.

This is my first written review, so apologies.

I'd like to start off on the single positive note, I quite enjoyed the acting of most of the cast. The problem, and I'd guess this lies in the directing because Steven Yeun is a quite capable actor, that the one character this episode revolves around is done horribly.

It's hard to go more in depth for spoiler reasons, but the episode lacks any kind of intrigue or mystery. It is completely transparent to the point where it figuratively crams the last sense of questionability down your throat.

I was really looking forward to The Twilight Zone, but this episode just left me disappointed. If I could give Twilight Zone a fitting analogy, it's if you took Jordan Peele's lack of subtlety (Which is one of the few criticisms of his objectively good movies), boiled it down and created a pure extract of that.

When Jordan Peele turns up at the end to give the moral of the story. I thought well what the hell is he on about?

Set in a small Alaskan town on Christmas Eve. Police chief Pendleton (Greg Kinnear) throws a party for the townsfolk and he always pardons one person in the police cell that night.

This night he pardons a mysterious person who suddenly showed up. A Traveler (Steven Yeun.) Pendleton's deputy Yuka is unsure about him.

Traveler has travelled the world and as time goes on he displays intimate knowledge about the townsfolk and he might be more than just mysterious.

What started out as an intriguing and creepy story, it took a left turn and went off on a tangent. It just came across as the writer was struggling with an ending, so he came up with that one.
