I really wanted to like this show, but it was so underwhelming. None of the vignettes presented really fleshed out their characters or presented much buildup, background or tension. It was just a quick flash of terrified people that left me a little bored after awhile. Most of the stories would have benefited from having an entire episode devoted to them as then they could develop a back story that would give the ending more sense.
