The first season seemed too straightforwardly preachy, almost lazy. The original series, like all good science fiction, encouraged examining one's views to arrive at a more enlightened viewpoint. The first season of this most recent iteration, however, felt like it was just telling people what to think, but failed to provide the intellectual motivation. The second season takes the more time honored Twilight Zone approach and does a fantastic job.
Season two is beautifully executed in terms of production quality and in terms of being science fiction that makes one think. Separately I would give season one a 6, but season two a 9.
