Season 2 Review:
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.

Season 2 Review:
The new Zone is still rather a mixed bag, though one brimming with imaginative pleasures and smart casting. [6 - 19 Jul 2020, p.5]

Season 2 Review:
"Meet in the Middle" is barely more interesting than a standard catfishing case, and the trick in "The Who of You" wears badly about midway through. ... "You Might Also Like" is the kind of episode that makes someone look at the updated episode "Twilight Zone" and hang on to the notion that it can improve, that someone will look at the methods by which it succeeds and say yes, more of this. ... But that also fails to account for whether viewers have the patience to stick with rest of the middling for the off change that the series might strike greatness again more than once or twice.

Season 2 Review:
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”.

Season 1 Review:
Four episodes made available for preview offer an uneven sampling--no surprise for a new series, especially an anthology with changing casts, writers and directors--with a wide gap separating the best, the tense, culturally resonant “Replay” from the worst, a free-falling “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet,” the only one adapted from an original episode.

Season 1 Review:
Throughout, The Twilight Zone casts its ominous action in distinctly modern terms. The problem is that, in three of its maiden four outings (which run anywhere from 36-54 minutes), both the message and the twist--if a stab at the latter is even made--are so obvious that their wannabe-timeliness can’t save them.

Season 1 Review:
Peele’s Twilight Zone feels neither like the best of Peele nor much like “The Twilight Zone.” It’s a mismatch of talents that, in the four episodes provided to critics, falls short of justifying its presence on air in 2019 as anything but flavorless homage to what had worked previously.
