Ken Parish Perkins of the
Chicago Tribune likened
Cosmic Slop to "a multicultural
Twilight Zone filled with political and racial angst," calling it "offbeat, humorous and disturbingly effective." Perkins concluded that "the Hudlin brothers have created a politically charged anthology that doesn't flinch or apologize for its views. This could ultimately prove unsettling, even to the usually risk-taking executives at HBO." Mike Duffy of the
Detroit Free Press wrote that
Cosmic Slop "suffers erratic, hit-and-miss moments," save for the "Tang" segment; Duffy wrote that "Tang" "echoes the provocative intelligence of
the original Twilight Zone", and praised the performances of Parker and McBride. ==References==
