Honestly, I'd recommend ignoring anyone giving this below a three or above an 8. I think most of the reviews are people exaggerating in one direction or the other. This episode does have a number of issues, and ultimately the entire premise doesn't work at a fundamental level (without going into spoiler details). But the episode is beautifully shot and expertly acted. It definitely takes a lot of inspiration from The Road, and does very well at setting mood and creating suspense. I don't really consider it a good or bad thing that it's not like the rest of the series. If the creators want to do something different once in a while, go big.
I don't feel like I wasted my time watching it, and it did a number of things well (big shout out to the lead). But I also think it's a weaker entry that could have been even shorter than it was. Spend the 40 minutes to watch it, think about it for a minute, and carry on with your day.
