mm-39 Review of The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone (1985–1989)

Better than the original in some way worse in others.

[7/10 · 21 April 2024]

The original series had some great classic shows like Terror at 20 000 ft, To serve man etc. Regrettably some long winded social message ones like Monster due on main street. Nothing will replace Rod Serling's narrative camera shot intros, with cigarette in hand! Smart not try and find a Rod clone for the remake! What works for the 20 plus years installment of The Twilight Zone from the 80's was not trying to be too much like the original but similar in the essence of the previous series. Instead of one whole show which can drag out there was two sometime and more installments for the show which never drag out a preach story, but too short sometimes for a classic story for some installments. I like it. Rod may not be there but many famous short stories and authors like Stephen King created some brilliant material. Some episodes are funny, serious, others flop but over all worth watching. 7 stars.
