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 wentLet us be clear and understand the original TZ view point

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.… Expand

Sometimes a fan base can be pure cancer. This new Twilight Zone series isn’t perfect but it isn’t unwatchable and it isn’t bad.

This new Twilight Zone series isn’t perfect but it isn’t unwatchable and it isn’t bad. Highlights for me were: “A Traveler,” “Six Degrees of Freedom,” “The Blue Scorpion,” and “Blurryman.” Hopefully in the future Jordan Peele will take more of an active role, as the series has been inconsistent and many times the messages have been too blunt to be interesting. This season has had great production value and a great cast and crew. Except for some of the writing. But I would say it’s overalll enjoyable.… Expand

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely, genuinely LOVE The Twilight Zone (2019). The thing for me that makes me love it so much is probably the pacing in this series. It is honestly so good that even the episodes withe bad plotThis might be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely, genuinely LOVE The Twilight Zone (2019). The thing for me that makes me love it so much is probably the pacing in this series. It is honestly so good that even the episodes withe bad plot lines are still entertaining and fun to watch. There were only two of the ten episodes that I didn't enjoy thoroughly, those being episodes 7 and 8 and while those episodes weren't BAD, they were just the least enjoyable episodes. I am not saying this is better than the original series, because it's not, but this series succeeded in one of the only areas where the original series failed. If there was a bad plot in the original series, it was a bad episode. But if there is a bad plot in this series, the episode was still engaging and entertaining. The acting from every single one of the main characters in all the episodes is absolutely amazing, and the cinematography is just, perfect. Probably the only major issue I had with this series was that a few of the plots tried to have a lot of social commentary and that was sometimes distracting from what The Twilight Zone is all about. But even those social commentaries didn't take away from my positive experience with this series. I whole-heatedly love this show and highly recommend it, but I can also see why some people not like it and if you absolutely hate this series, that's fine. But, I personally love it, the characters are great, the stories are engaging and suspenseful, and it's just overall a great show in my opinion. But again, if you disagree with me, I completely understand.… Expand

People really are hating on this for no reason. It's a very well-done, very compelling show. It goes to show that people will just hate on anything these days.
