To be clear: The episodes vary in quality - not all deserve a 6+, but some of them definitely do compete with expensive productions, with just 20-25minutes of runtime, which forced the writer to make dense or intense story telling.
My personal favorites are "Go to the head of class" (double ep with Christopher Lloyd), "Mummy Daddy", but also "The Mission" (another twin double ep.) is damn good, "Thanksgiving" creepy as hell, "Magic Saturday" as a quite memorable, bitter-sweet story. Some stories have similarities to later blockbusters or mystery series episodes.
The whole series is a journey through a diverse bunch of stories, (later on) well known actors and directors, many styles, ways of story telling, speed, suspense, and sometimes spooky beyond the X-Files. Real film buffs, on the other hand, will recognize the style and details of certain directors and writers, like Zemeckis.
IMHO the concept of this productions is essential for ANY film producing country, to give especially newbies a chance to learn and grow, with few limitations for their fantasy and style.
All in all, both, lovers of big cinema and niche shows will for sure find episodes they really like and they can discuss with others.
