Michael Blowen Boston Globe Perhaps later episodes without the flashy effects and the gimmicky casting will succeed but the leadoff batter whiffs. Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Chris Willman Los Angeles Times The usually good Bridges is miscast as a lunatic, and supporting appearances by his real-life father, Lloyd, and son, Dylan, add up to distracting stunt casting. Apr 24, 2018 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post "Sandkings" gets it off to a spectacularly spooky start. Apr 24, 2018 Full Review Sophy Ziss Nerdist Elevates the unsettling into a true art form. Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media Though some episodes are better than others... the show is generally quite satisfying to watch, especially when watching ordinary people who are thrust into extraordinary situations struggle to make impossible decisions. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2018 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide It continues The Outer Limits tradition of emphasizing moody visuals and intense atmospherics over scenes of explicit horror.
