Peele’s riff on “The Twilight Zone” is mesmerizing and unforgettable. ... This is smart, challenging television, designed to provoke conversation as much as startle audiences.
Despite different writers and directors, all three of these episodes feel much more consistent, united by more than just the occasional appearance from Peele.

This is a very beautiful and smart tribute to the first Tv Show. Jordan Peele shows how smart and positively weird he is in these episodes. Althought there are some forgettable episodes, like The Wunderkind, the tv show, as a whole, bring some social criticism and tense moments.

Let us be clear and understand the original TZ view point
1) Conservative white male
2) Christian morals and principles
3) Era of innocence and purity being perverted 4) Political and justice of the 60? Was it the 60s? Lol idk
.......
I went in with a bad taste in my mouth because of the awful reviews. I have to say I have no clue what those people where watching. And why they seem to low ball this series.
........
Season one hits every polical button you can push in this dawning century. Immorality of Fame, injustice of police brutality, the backing of lying politicians, the need to be the hero, etc etc. This is a very well hat tilt to Rod Sterling. I believe he would be pleased with this reboot. The original TZ was nothing but political, because we don't live in that era you ding dongs seem to not realize the severity of the originals impacts. Too many look at it as far off gergan. My only issue is this show is not as family friendly as I would hope. A lot of cursing and blaspheming is very unnecessary. It makes it very unwholesome just because of that. ........
Lastly STOP COMPARING US, GET OUT, AND ANY OTHER WORK. This isn't rock music or hip hop. No two art forms should be the same. You should not compare two art forms side by side. You would not walk into art with expectations. I am so tired of people comparing Peele's works side by side. Us was nothing like Get Out and Twilight Zone is nothing like the two. Shut up already about these comparisons.
.........
Now to sum it all up for you folks. Remember what the Twilight Zone is. Remember the view point is only as broad as the seer. This show was originally designed for the middle class white American. The vantage point is broader and wider so expect something more than the original. Do not go in with expectations. The 6 seasons of the original covered so much ground that is still relevant in today's society. There isn't much to cover. Rod Sterling's story was to bring understanding to the corrupt world we live in and if we did not get back to reality and live in the now and truth, how easily we could and would be deceived in the T.Z. Know thyself.
Again I just see a bunch of racist people trying to kill the only black male in American film directing that will not submit to their lies and reality. Welcome to the Twilight Zone! Aka Satan's playground. Will I be back for season 2? Probably not because im 100% sure this is not pleasing to the Lord. But keep it up Jordan. Haters gonna hate. Show is great, just wish you'd consider all the blaspheming God's name as you push away a significant audience of Christians.

The new “Twilight Zone” satisfies a few curious viewer’s concerns, nailing the overall atmosphere implied by the title as well as inviting us to weigh the surreptitiously conveyed alternate meanings within the two-episode series debut. But there’s probably more to love here for Serling zealots than the drive-by viewer who’s still deciding whether the “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” experiment lives up to the hype.
It would be fairer to judge each episode on its merits, and even embrace the anthology’s hit-and-miss nature as a part of the fun, like a bag of those assorted chocolates sold at all reputable boarding school tuck shops. The problem is we have had five orange cremes in a row now, and still no sign of a chewy toffee.
Out of the three, the only one we’d take with us is “Meet Me in the Middle”. Chang and Amini make every minute count in this story about a man (Simpson) who connects with another woman (Gillian Jacobs) subconsciously. ... Elsewhere, Perkins gives a messy sequel to “To Serve Man” (and a modern twist on “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”) with “You Might Also Like”, while Rosenfeld tries on too many faces in the aforementioned “The Who of You”.
Compared to Black Mirror’s spiky nihilism, The Twilight Zone feels tame.
They manage to take plenty of good actors and give them nothing, leaving them slipping around in vanilla. Even writer Glen Morgan, who has done excellent work, especially in the original X-Files series, can't bring any of these episodes to life. ... All four episodes are bad, but the first two are terrible.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Yes the new season of the Twilight zone is a disapointment but it doesn' deserve such a low score. It's simple very average and I have no interest in re watching any of the episodes again. I can understand people's anger and disapointment but very low scores are very harsh.

This is no longer Twilight Zone. Those who know the old episodes and loved the mysterious can search here for a long time. Peele takes a strange path. I hope season 2 will never come.

la serie es un producto deficiente de acuerdo a la historia de la ciencia ficción actual, con historias trilladas, y lo peor es con un contenido bastante marcado por la política woke actual, no tiene contenido cultural más allá de llevar el nombre de una serie pionera en el género, les pido por favor no dar continuidad a la serie de acuerdo a la calidad actual
