Além da Imaginação

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.

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.

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've just finished watching the first four episodes, and I went from excited anticipation, to disappointed, to fed up enough to bail on future episodes.

Each episode seems to be plot-focused on targeting one identifiable group as perpetual racists, and another group as perpetual victims.

The science fiction is a minor incidental to the series.

Rod is turning in his grave! Shame on this reboot!

Season two in my opinion is way better than the first season. In no way is it better than the original, but it kept my interest and I was excited for the next episode.
