What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Twilight Zone's sophomore season shines when it dares to be bold, but long runtimes and predictable plotting hold it back from reaching its full potential.

3/5
Ultimately, this Twilight Zone suffers by comparison, because there is just so much to compare it with - Serling's still peerless original, Jordan Peele's movies, other sci-fi anthology series such as Black Mirror and now TZ's own first season. Go to Full Review

It's an encouraging sign that The Twilight Zone's second season begins with an episode that's relatively simple, and highly watchable. Go to Full Review

Still a decent reboot, but far too timid. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
If you didn't like the first season, it's understandable to be hesitant about giving the show another try. But, even without expectations accurately shifted, these ten episodes are collectively more palatable. Go to Full Review
Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects 04/19/2021
As with most anthology series, the results are decidedly mixed. For one thing, the show does away with its social justice bent entirely at a time in which those stories would be most welcome. Go to Full Review

4/5
Season 2 is satisfyingly spooky and twisted, with a wry sense of humor. Go to Full Review

Jo K 08/08/2023 Misses the mark with the hard hitting, mostly downtrodden, endings from the original series. Too sanitized. See more Black B 06/14/2023 Esta temporada en verdad creo que no se sintió como la anterior (eso en sentido bueno, ya que la anterior no me gusto mucho) pero tampoco fue buena por si misma, hay unos episodios mejores que otros como todas las series antologías pero estos pecan mucho de ser aburridos o de no dar nada de miedo. También la mayoría no son nada memorables o duran mucho mas de lo que en verdad deberían de durar, pienso que deberían de durar máximo 30 minutos y hay algunos con una duración mucho mayor. Si quieres ver una verdadera serie de misterio o terror creo que esta no es la opción, tiene episodios con buenas ideas pero mal ejecutadas y muchos otros episodios con ideas bastante aburridas y sobre explicadas. See more brent g 09/04/2022 Not bad. A good effort for Twilight Zone fans in order to build on to past episodes. A couple I really like and a few that are a little more than just worth watching. The strong point is probably that Twilight Zone continues to originate plots instead of copying others' ideas, just as so many of the very first series did (we all saw how a plot would be shown for the first time on a Twilight Zone episode, then somebody would almost copy the idea for some other movie or other series). Original and fresh ideas are a big plus now days that imagination seems to be in short supply. As others have alluded, suspension of belief is slightly problematic. It's easier to suspend belief when there's a clear moral to a story, though, and the morals here are far less clear. See more 06/23/2022 Ages 14 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Featuring the greatest final 10 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more johann m @Johann33 10/29/2021 Season 2!!! Phenomenal! Once again with the incarnation of the classic anthology series featuring various tales of science fiction, mystery, and horror, now adapted to modern times and narrated by horror genius Jordan Peele. This season also includes episodes with bizarre incidents, supernatural occurrences, alien invasions, psychic abilities, killer octopuses, magic town models, time-loops, all ending with unexpected and surprising twists that will leave the viewer speechless. They are not as good as the first season's, but they are acceptable.
