Every episode is a sermon about social and political issues, not entertainment. It's a news show trying to hide itself as a tv series, and almost immediately you know which way it leans. Don't expect the classic twilight zone twists or reveal at the end of each episode. The plot is explained to you halfway through, and the rest is you watching the show complete its social lecture. You know exactly the message it wants you to learn, because it barks it at you every scene. There was only one episode that tried to genuinely tell a real story. That's where the rating of 1 comes from instead of a flat zero. Plenty of good actors, but their charm is buried underneath "nag the audience" plots.

Dont waste your time on this. Much better shows out there with the real twilight zone heart in them. Or just watch the old series.… Expand

i was really excited for this reboot, but i was very disappointed. I did not like this at all. So anti men and anti white it's utterly disgusting. Absolutely ruined this show.

Absolutely uninspired and terrible social justice themed show. Not at all original and not entertaining. Lost me after two episodes.

So boring. No feeling of mistery, no intresting story, bad twists. 1st episode with comic and his humor - I wasn't laughing any single time, feeling shame for those "jokes". Yeah. Generally a feeling produced by Twilight Zone 2019 is a SHAME.

I don't usually bother rating, but DAMN that "show" was the most offensive, EXTREM SJW, anti men, anti white, and double anti white men I've ever seen.

I can't believe how agenda driven that pile of **** was. There wasn't any real "twilight zone" twist in the plots, it was all agenda driven.
One episode is about a black mom trying to escape a racist white cop, one episode is about how all men are violent monsters etc etc etc.… Expand

I really wanted to like this series. I love the old school Twilight Zone. I couldn't stand the constant political agenda pushing. I get enough politics in my daily life.

I mean how they literally shove politics down your throat every scene. As a Filipino, I don't get American politics too much but you would know if a show or a game is trying too hard to push an agenda. It's so in your face, it feels dystopian, designed to make white people look evil. the Japanese wronged us, during the war but we don't go making a show attacking Japanese people. If you're American reading this, don't be afraid to come to Asia, we dont scream racism, whenever you sneeze in our direction.… Expand

OMG! And I thought that 80's and 2000's remakes were bad! Compare to this pile of garbage these ones look like a freaking masterpiece!

Terrible attempt at a re-do. Racial bias and ignorant attempts at what they consider “thought invoking” leaves you wondering what the **** were they thinking. It’s all a disappointment.

The last episode was even poorer, being it about this new Twilight Zone and directly attepting to justify that somehow campy stories aren't as good as Jordan Peele's societal criticism, against the audience's judgement which tells us otherwise.
This show has been a massive disappointment, and feels like it is purely an usurpation of a format to serve Peele's own purposes.… Expand

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.
