Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone

[ChiggyvonRichthofen]

The nice thing about The Twilight Zone being an anthology series is that when they attempt to revive it there is no real concern about it hurting previous incarnations. There's no canon to follow, a bad series is easily forgotten while the original is still remembered as THE Twilight Zone. That's a lot less baggage than a certain series spanning decades with an attempted revival that is also hidden in All Access.

I agree with that. At the same time, reviving The Twilight Zone in particular doesn't make a lot of sense from a creative standpoint. There have been a lot of similar anthology series over the years, and even currently Black Mirror has drawn a good number of comparisons to The Twilight Zone.

The problem is that Black Mirror is a shitty shit show for mouth-breathing pseudointellectuals.

It's overrated, and some of the twists in that episode or the most recent Bandersnatch are overwrought. At the same time, I think there's some pretty high quality episodes in there- maybe just not as many as some fans think.

It certainly falls short of The Twilight Zone, but it's far from alone in that regard.
