    With so many different directors and writers involved, it's always hard to judge where anthology series may be going. But the first two episodes of Fear Itself are good, goosebumpy fun, with the deft set-ups, rousing action and surprise endings of a comic book.
  2. Fear is pretty much like most of these genre-specific anthologies: wildly inconsistent, sometimes maddeningly so. But when it hits, it blasts the ball out of the park. When it doesn't, well, at least you have the pools of blood to keep you company.
  3. 30
    NBC's new anthology horror series is, like far too many TV horror anthologies before it, just not scary enough.

    Best show on TV. Reminds me of Twilight Zone or Hitchcock. Last night's ( about the wedding and the serial killer) twist took me completely by surprise. Congratulations to NBC for showing something different. Expand

    The second was better than the first, by about 2 more miles, where the first was about 9/1000 of miles from utter crap. I missed the third, and thats one i wanted to see =/ So watch it, it's worth a laugh and an hour of your life. Expand

    Decent stories, but the endings ruin it.
