The Twilight Zone

There is nothing worse than programming that treats its viewers as stupid and ignorant. This series in no way respects the foundations of the original Twilight Zone. It is awful.

Too many people are too willing to settle for mediocrity as long as the show is "woke" enough and CBS is exploiting that with shows like TZ and STD. Just watch the originals they were better.

I didn't care for Season One very much. I enjoyed the stars but was disappointed by the episodes. But Season TWO is a HUGE improvement. If you didn't like the first one, give the second season a try. The first episode starts out very strong and doesn't disappoint. The other episodes range from very good to pretty good to ummm oh..KAY. Nobody has ever been able to do this show justice from the original series but Jordan Peele is doing a pretty darn good turn this season with it!! I hope there will be a Season Three to look forward to.

The thing that sets the original The Twilight Zone apart is that each episode is expertly filmed, especially in its use of longer takes and slow moving panning shots, that cinematography helps to kick the tension into high gear, the new series doesn't do that and I can't figure out why? The cinematography in the first two episodes just did not draw me in, they explained too much right off the get go.

I was very excited about this new remake of the series. Its promotion during the Super Bowl promised a premium product. What disappointment !!! Only two or three episodes are worth it, the rest has nothing to do with the original premise of the great Rod Serling. The remake of the iconic episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is tedious, boring, slow and mediocre, most of the episodes are. I don't understand what criteria they used, the 80's and early 2000's remakes were well done, with original and creative stories that respected the foundation of the series, but this show is bad, very bad.
