The biggest flaw in this continuation of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents show is the length: instead of the instant delight of a short story idea, set up and then taken to the punchline in under half an hour, each episode is padded to almost the length of a B-movie. But very, very few of the scripts have enough twists, turns and character development to justify such treatment, so what we end up is a lot of quite dull almost-movies, instead. In the first season, "Final Vow" and "Ride The Nightmare" are probably the best, and very nearly rise above these limitations.
