The 2002 version of "The Twilight Zone" has a generally poor reputation, and indeed the few episodes I have watched so far (at random) range from OK to mediocre, but "The Executions of Grady Finch" is actually very good! I watched this one right after "The Collection" (starring Jessica Simpson!), and while that one was utterly predictable, this one is riveting because you cannot tell how it will play out. The story is well-thought-out and clever and very Twilight-Zoney. This episode also benefits from two strong central performances, by Jeremy Sisto and Alicia Witt. I think this episode is giving me a message: should I quit watching this TV show? NOT YET. *** out of 4.
