A traveler came one night
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.
