should of been more seasons

I have just finished all 13 shows. And i am surprised to hear it only made 1 season when it has enough potential to go on for many many seasons.

I think most of the episodes were well made and done with good precision. There were just one or 2 that were not very good. But the Masters of Horror show which spinned this series was declining in its second season. I only remember 2 or 3 good episodes in that season. Just looking at some of the shows for season 1:

Eater:not great, but not exactly terrible..didn't get or even care about the transfers of people the serial killer went too.

In Sickness and Health, New Years Day:Thought they were boring and didn't care about the stories. ISH had no ending it seemed like.

The rest:
Very well made. Especially Chance, Skin and Bones, The Circle, Family Man, Community, The Spirit Box(thought was one of the best ones) were all pretty decent. Overall this shows first season were so much better than several of the MoH series. What a shame its gone, and such a waste of what could of been a long running series.

I somewhat disagree with you.

The vast majority of the FI episodes were crap.

The only good ones IIRC were Eater, Skin and Bones (although this is a blatant ripoff of a movie), The Spirit Box, The Circle and Something With Bite. If the majority of the episodes had been like that, then it would have been great. But they didn't even get to air most of those good episodes because they decided to air the crap ones first (that are nothing like the ones I've mentioned) and hence got the show cancelled. Although it might have been cancelled in any case due to the horrible writing of the other episodes and toned down nature of the show.

Community was crap. You are right that In Sickness and New Year's Day were also crap.

Family Man was mediocre because of the retarded ending.

Bullcrap you don't know what you on about. Every episode is brilliantly made.

Every episode brilliantly made? LOL!

Does that include the many episodes that would repeat many seconds worth of footage after the commercial break that they had already shown before the commercial break, i.e. New Year's Day?

Is that brilliantly made, or is that filmmaking incompetence?

I disagree respectfully with you in regards to New Years Day. It was an interesting take on the Zombie genre. Though the flashbacks did get annoying at times.

If one good deed in all my life I did,
I do repent it from my very soul.
