The Twilight Zone (2002–2003)
The Zone Awakens
4 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Another heave hole try in the enchanting world created originally by Rod Sterling now updated for a new generation and failing terribly. Going 44 episodes the new Zone ranged from a great idea taken in a great direction before crashing and burning anticlimactically. Most of the caste were washed up hasbeens or no talents and never have any emotional impact.

The opening looked cheap, a lame guitar ripe and computer cgi graphics. I could do better myself during free time without a budget. Another issue was the graphic sex scenes shoved in almost every episode making it a sensual series and quite like the revival of the outer limits instead of doing it's own thing or trying to be the brand name.

I tried to give it a chance, but the show doesn't have any new offerings to serve and the old stories recreated are bland without any new twists only making you want to watch the original ones instead. Plus Forress Whitaker tries his best but his voice is to easy going not hoarse or sinister making any horror attempt fall flat.

You can judge it on your own merits rather it has held up over time. But my rewatch only enforced how bad an attempt it turned out to be.
