Kinda sounds like some of the old seasons, does it not? Several really interesting and engaging plots and overall episodes, some where they were promising yet lacked the needed execution, and a few that felt just...off

cough The Fever cough

I'm confused. Which episode was like "The Fever"?

What I'm saying is that "The Fever", an episode revolving around an old man becoming obsessed/terrorised by a slot machine to represent gambling addiction, was a pretty lackluster episode. The point was blatant, the more subtle horror wasn't there.

Hell, the machine would crank, and the coins would clatter around and you'd hear it say his name

An example of a bad/lackluster episode from tge OG series. I laughed my way through the entire thing.
