Amazing Stories (r2s01e01)
The Cellar
by Jessica Sharzer, directed by Chris Long
Sam Taylor, a carpenter remodeling houses with his brother, feels ungrounded in 2019
until he uncovers a century-old photograph of a young bride along with a matchbook from a
1919 speakeasy. Like everyone else, we wondered at the end who Evelyn’s child is. Sam
might be the father if a pregnant Evelyn traveled forward a second time, but that seems
unlikely. I enjoyed that the writers left things open for us to wonder, and I also
enjoyed the carefully constructed single static timeline.

You were right—the photograph, it was me, it . .
. It will be. I don’t know how, but it will.
