6/10
An evil lighthouse and a chance to change the past for the better.
11 December 2018
Episode 11 returns to two segments.

The first "The Beacon" has a doctor (played by Charles Martin Smith) who manages to stumble into a strange isolated coastal town were everyone is really strange, he manages to befriend and young boy, and help a heal a woman, however he later learns that the town had plans for her, very strange plans indeed and that the doctor has definitely gotten in over his head. This one isn't to long and its a decent story that obviously takes some liberties from "The Wicker Man" and "The Lottery".

The second "One Life, Furnished in Early Poverty" has a famous writer returning back to his little small town in Ohio were he grew up. He always had issues mostly communicating with his father and as a result grew up to be a relatively angry man. However he finds out that he has somehow went back in time, and this time he tries to change things for the better. Another heartstrings segment that this series seems to be obsessed with. It's still a decent story for what its worth, and I remember an episode from the original series, being sorta having a plot like this as well.

Overall, two decent segments.
