Another Too-Long Sermon
I'm late to the party in watching the New TZ, but I have to agree with most who say the writing is flat and shows are way too long. Point of Origin was the most tolerable of the S1 episodes I've watched, but the story just went on and on long after the point had been made. This would have been OK if we were being led to a Serling-like ending twist, but alas, the story just ran its course and ended. Of course, the only message the writers cared to get across was "Anti-Immigration" attitudes are bad. It's really quite sad that they have so little a grip on the economic realities of immigration control.
