The concept of the show: 5 stories. Basically 2 or 3 really happened. All are strange, paranormal stuff. A new employee frees a child from a sealed jewelry store safe by telling her to put her head to the door and think up a number. A homeless boy is reunited with his father after finding a priceless comic book and trying to cash it in. A substitute doctor comes in and finds almost psychologically a developing brain tumor in a child's head. A man finds he must ask a man to use his tools while constructing otherwise a curse of Merlon the great wizard will injure the taker.
Which ones happened?
Of course, they tell you in the end, and though there is a small pattern(i.e. half the episodes the stranger ones are always true, I think the writers can't come up with good stuff), it is a half-true Twilight Zone out there.
But being it the reality TV it is, a new cast is brought in not for every season or every episode, but for EVERY STORY! Many have decided to do only a part of what they should be trying to achieve in a 10 minute guessing game, hoping we'll forget by the next tale.
But although we do forget their faces, we are given the impression no good acting could come to this show. And with no good acting comes no good directing.
The directors haven't also lived up to the standard. Sure, it's ten minutes, but we'd like to see something other than crap trying to watch stories and be left unbelieving. The directors have given no motivation, no style, everything seems so bland we start to try to automatically forget anything other than the story itself, and when they bring it all back to memory in the end, we must think for a second about what happened, and recall our guess in less than five seconds or it's revealed and you may not even care what your guess was, your mouth may be dropped open because it was Beyond Belief.
