4/5
Peele, who appears "inside" these tales as the narrator, balances contemporary political concerns with an obvious affection for Serling's work; it might not be as bleak as his horror films, but there's just enough darkness in his dimension. Go to Full Review

Pat Stacey The Herald (Ireland) 02/27/2020
I've watched the first three. Sadly, they're all squibs of varying degrees of dampness. 'Nightmare at 30,000 Feet', a very loose reworking of one of the most famous Serling episodes, 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet', is the weakest. Go to Full Review

Tym M @RT78011223 10/05/2024 Oh man, I hate that I hated this, I was so looking forward to this, and then I heard it was by Peele, and I was completely bummed. I get it, the world sucks and people suck, but this was written with an agenda. Why not mask your agenda like Rod did. This is like reading a book about why you should love dogs and finding out the book is about lovable dogs. Peele's name on something only means you will get a social justice lesson that 9 out of 10 times, doesn't even hit the mark. The only thing worse than this, was that they put the Twilight Zone name on it. It will forever stain it now. No longer can you say, I saw every iteration and liked them. I hate that I hated this.

Disappointing. See more Mario C @RT00568997 05/15/2023 Can't hold a candle to the original. Poorly acted and worse script. Dumped it after 3 episodes.
