The run time of the new one doesn't help. Season 4 of the original showed why anything more than 25 minutes just doesn't work. Yes, there is occassionally one that does like Her Pilgrim Soul in the 80s version and Printer's Devil for Season 4, but those are a rarity.
Another thing about the original series is that there are episodes that are not scary or suspenseful at all, but are still parables. Like ‘One for the Angels’ or ‘Walking Distance’. The original series was truly an anthology because each episode could be completely different, but still feel connected.
S1E1 is about the prime minister of Great Britain fucking a swine. S1E2 is the most on-face metaphor for capitalism ever. The show gets explicitly political on numerous occasions.
@@malasc12 Yes, it was. You clearly know nothing about The Twilight Zone if you think it was not a social commetary. The episode "Eye of the Beholder" is an episode about racism. "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is about paranoia and the red scare. "I Am The Night - Color Me Black" is also about racism with the justice system. The whole reason Serling made the series was to make political statements that he wasn't allowed to do without it being behind a science fiction curtain.
Honestly if the show had the creativity of more complex themes i think it’d be pretty good esp with their budget, like if they rlly wanna shock people you’re gonna have to do better than “don’t be mean to immigrants” sry :/
Mostly it’s the writing. The 1960 episodes were written by people that had actually lived lives during very hard times, WWII, the Great Depression. The 2019 episodes are written by young college educated people that have lived easy lives and get all their knowledge from social media. Hence the shallowness.
I really hope more wisened and insightful people start flooding the arts with more good quality work. I'm tired of all the trite crappy shallow stuff. Feels like I have to avoid half of what comes out just to not waste my time on media that does nothing positive for my mind, heart, and soul. I want more stuff like Everything Everywhere All At Once, Dune, heck even Poor Things even though that film has some annoyingly on the nose ideological pushes. I want more music that pushes boundaries like Animal Collective and Oneohtrix Point Never. I want more shows like Twin Peaks, Better Call Saul, The Wire, etc. I want more deep art that I can revisit a dozen times and still pick up on more details and intricacies that I never noticed before. As an artist myself I strive to create art like this myself as well. And I try to help keep my artist friends motivated and boost morale to do the same.
We need to go places we haven't been, or we don't know what is there. What is at the bottom of the ocean? What is at the center of a black hole? What would happen if we suddenly jumped universes, again and again. Is there a center to the universe? What if we are the forerunners of our universe? Is there a cap to how much fear a single person can feel? What if a person suddenly started going back in time? What if a person started seeing things in other spectrums of light? A complete world lying on top of our own, unseen? What if a colony ship start a long journey, but a faster than light ship is developed before it can reach its destination, and passes it by? What if there is ancient writing on a distant planet, in English?
Why didn't they make it in black and white? I always felt like the visuals of the original add to the feeling of being in a strange alternate universe.
While I agree that black n white creates a mood in the original, I think colour is considered a given for today's audience who may be put off by black n white visuals. I think that's one of the reasons why not more people today watch the original TZ, and other black n white shows/movies for that matter - some of the audience today just probably don't enjoy the aesthetic and think it looks "outdated" and therefore don't become interested.
So basically you take a classic Tom and Jerry short, stretch it to 1 hour length and instead of adding new gags to fill the length of the episode you put in exposition to give context to why each of the gags are supposed to be funny.
When this version of the Twilight zone first came out I've never seen an episode of the original and after seeing rewind I thought the entirety of the Twilight Zone was another piece of overhyped fiction. I then watched a bit of the original... and then the entire run of the original quickly becoming one of my all time favourite shows. I feel you have forgotten a few key things as to why 2019 failed over the old version with the main thing not being preach fatigue but rather what is being talked about, how its being talked about and what issues they were tackling. The original Twilight Zone rarely tackled issues of the day and rather issues of people like addiction, difficult choices, dreams, death, and our fellow man and used a tool that's lost to our contemporary storytellers: Nuance. More often than not the reason why the twists of the old twilight zone episodes worked was because the story up to that point was nuanced enough that it functioned as a twist even if the twist is there being no twist at all. One of my favorite episodes of the original run was the out-dated man and the reason for this was simply that the twist was that it showed that one way or another a future like that is going to suck for everyone and what helped it was the characters themselves being multilayered and entertaining. in the 2019 twilight zone the characters and especially the threats they were facing was bland, unoriginal, and worst of all when it comes to something as timeless as the twilight zone, dated. I can't think of a better example of this than the episode rewind. In the episode a mother finds her cam corder has the ability to rewind time and everytime she does this the cop in the story behaves a little more suspiciously. Why is this? Is it because the message is about time and how no matter how much we want events to change the thing we should really be worried about is making sure its spent with our loved ones? Is it because the cop was actually a multi-dimensional ranger after the device for making too many new universes playing with the idea of the multiverse and how important our choices are? nope he's just a racist cop and all it took was a speech to get him to back off despite being shown in the episode to essentially be a terminator beforehand. The new twilight zone falls into a new common pitfall of new writers that think that there is no nuance to any issue and that the only issue that can be talked about are the ones that show tribe A being mean to tribe B giving it the complexity of a preschool book and all the nuance of a brick through a window with the message vandalism is bad written on it. There are issues that can universally effect people no matter race, gender, or statice. These are the issues that should have been focused on. One other thing you are incorrect with the idea that a message being too subtle is the reason why people won't change their minds, its the opposite. If you treat a person who disagrees with you on ANY topic like an idiot and/or inherently evil they aren't going to listen
I haven't watched it, but my mother and I were both big fans ofthe original twilight zone run. She was then pretty excited for the most recent iteration but she said it didn't understand the point of Twilight Zone and was too reliant on gore or blatant symbols of shock or fear. It wasn't subtle or thoughtful enough, if I remember her correctly.
The show can end up creating more division to be hones. If im racist and on the tv i see a 1 hour show about how racists are pieces of trash with not a single good quality, please tell me in what party im going to end up with. The people that think im trash or other racists that accept me. You need to be extremly inteligent to create an argument that draws conversation instead of atacking the other band.
And that's why the new Twilight Zone is canceled and isn't returning for Season 3 --- YAY!!! The 2019 Twilight Zone is a masterclass example of how NOT to do storytelling.
@@alien777 I'm rewatching the new series two episodes of the 2019 series felt like they could have been in the original 1958 show. The Small Town episode and The Who Of You episode were fantastic
He is!!!😍 I've always thought that, since I was much younger. Plus, he's intelligent, obviously creative, and extremely articulate - traits that I find extremely attractive!👍
Great video! I was trying to figure out why the new TZ is so underwhelming, and I think you hit the nail on the head. Honestly, I think Black Mirror is a better TZ reboot than the actual one.
You obviously don't get how television works if it wasn't for TV shows like the Twilight Zone we wouldn't have TV shows like black mirror so your taste has no originality nor taste
There is another serious difference between this TZ and the original series: Serling was political, but not partisan. He addressed McCarthyism with "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," but he was just as quick to address Marxism with "The Mirror" and "The Obsolete Man" (which references Stalin). Serling knew that ANY extreme of any sort, regardless of left or right on the political spectrum, could be dangerous. (BTW, Gene Roddenberry's original Star Trek series handled this the same way as well) The 2019 TZ fails in this regard. The politics are almost exclusively favorable to leftist ideas. "Not all Men" is basically a blind exercise in Misandry, and something Serling would not have approved of because of its "one-sidedness." This is beyond social commentary; it's flat out Riefenstahl-esque propaganda.
If by woke you mean the opposite of the 2019 version, yeah. The 2019 version is nothing but collectivist identity politics that would probably make Rod Serling puke. [See: The Obsolete Man] The guy was an individualist and it shows in his writing. You can see it in the subjects he lists in the video (prejudice, conformity, intolerance, censorship); they're all symptoms of collectivist ideologies. That's the real reason the 2019 version sucks. It's soulless ideological drivel.
@@dreamsof3dspace555 I'm not sure collectivist is an accurate or helpful description. This video discusses it exceptionally well; Twilight zone 2019 primary problem is the shallow, reductive nature of the parables and the length of episode.
I tried to watch a # of these and yes most of them were boring. The direction was also so overly artsy that it would make .M. Night Shyamalan jealous. It just didn't come together and yes the 1 hour run time hurt it in this case. Not a good show, but there were maybe 2 or 3 decent entries in two seasons. That isn't good.
Maybe sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar but Jordan Peele’s movies and this show (whatever he calls it) try so hard to be symbolic and meaningful but underneath are all smoke. Preaching to the converted.
9:55 it’s not that I don’t understand, it mainly an issue considering the wars that brought in refugees to Europe and US which shows how deteriorating and decayed these open border ideas are. I’m Hispanic but even I know the American system is benefited with lies and exploitation because of communities who are willing to do so. I do feel empathetic but it’s a multilayered topic that people outside of my community would be empathetic to. Talking about cages, yes it is evil but the same abandonment and later enslavement of foreign children is also a much more extreme evil. Coyotes transport humans in inhumane conditions to only scalp and even start human trafficking in a new level. It doesn’t help that people in my community have done more harm of our image than improve from it. There is a reason why I agree people should be developed into learning a country and not blindly step into one. Advantageous groups take children and turn them into dealers and low lives. We want immigrants to come in the country legally. If they go through illegal channels fine but they live a new life here not carry the old one. I know many friends who failed to follow that thought. I hope you understand and not label me as a wanna be whitey. I noticed how dismissive and racist these imbeciles on Twitter have gotten to be. It’s so hypocritical to think they care.
Hi we’re not in the old world new one mentality that colonists believed in. It’s disappointing to think our problems can simply be solved by running away. Humanity has gotten pessimistic to the idea of change that conformity has turned to a new norm. Especially on Twitter people touting statistics does little to understand community influence, state influence and eventually capital influence. It’s ludicrous to not factor those in to our society thinking it’s fine to just stuff people in infested cities. People should find a better opportunity but putting all that faith to the nearest country to even abandoning kids for a “better life” is a “greater good” but a moral evil. A better tomorrow is if people always test government than saying “I’ll leave to (insert country) when (insert leader) is elected into office”. Fight from home and hold accountable leaders who ruined countries with policies. Obrador and others under his wing are doing so with cartels liberally opening hearts and eating them while their victims live... I just can’t think why be defeated...
The damage done by the previous administrations of the U.S. government is one reason why we have migration coming our way. It takes 10 years or more to become a citizen in this country. We could make that shorter but republicans don't want to fund social security, let alone anything to do with citizenship. The current centrist leaders of the Democrats don't do anything because of their owners much like the corporations who own the republicans as well. Both sides realize the need for cheap labor and thus allow illegal immigration to continue at its current rate. The problem I have is when people view most of these immigrants as invaders. The company you work for is invading your paycheck by taking 80-90% of your actual pay because they deserve it more but yet you complain about people coming from U.S. ravaged countries that past neo liberal neo conservative administrations did. If. Of course take out the criminal ones but legalize all the illegals here now, just like the worst president for the working and poor class did, Reagan.
Almost every episode of 2019 TZ was about having your status quo changed. That showed how little we had to fear in 2019. Both the 80s and 60s TZ were afraid of war. 2002 TZ's episodes were afraid of death. If Twilight Zone wants to come back, the real world needs to be terrifying. I guess were just not there right now.
I haven’t seen it since it was released, but I remember liking the episode shown at 0:57. I finally ordered the Twilight Zone collection on Blu Ray, as it was on sale for a really good price on Amazon. I can’t wait for it to come today, it’s been a long time since I marathoned a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes.
The original is one of my favourite shows of all time . Only reboot that i thought decent was the 80s one. The episodes in 2019 show are too damn long. And too preachy
It quite literally doesn’t matter, you know what he’s taking about, everyone knows who he’s talking about, which means it’s a simple error that isn’t an issue
I think the biggest problem of this twilight zone is that it’s two on the nose and too long. Most of the episodes I figured out where the plot was going in the first 20 minutes and then I realize they were still another 40 minutes to go. Once you know where it’s going, it’s not that interesting anymore. And even on a few occasions when they did, keep me wondering if usually wasn’ a good pay off. I mean look at the Donald Trump episode to see just how painfully obvious everything was.
First, the episodes were too long. There's a reason why only the 4th season of the original had hour long episodes. Second. all of the episodes were too preachy. The original TZ had messages but was thought provoking. Serling clashed constantly with censors but delivered the message.
Another one where you nailed exactly what the problem is. I would argue that Jordan Peele's other tv production, "Lovecraft Country," suffers from a lot of the same problems. Two things: The original Twilight Zone went to being an hour during the fifth season. They quickly realized this was a mistake and went back to 30 mins the following season. The 1985 version is very underrated. There are two seasons and quite a few of them are extremely good.
Was planning to watch this, but thank you for showing me I haven't missed out on anything, good video. I think that the biggest issue with quite many modern shows is the lack of subtlety. Similar issue was in Doctor Who series during the Chibnal era. The best life lesson/social commentary is the one the viewers figufe out themselves, the "Aha" moment when the episode ends, you put the pieces together and realize the message yourself. Stuffing moral lessons into the audiences face is not just boring, but also insulting, as if the writers were expecting a dumb audience and so they spoonfeed you the message. It's simmilar to how The Avatars story was full of two dimensional characters, guy A is clearly evil, guy B is clearly good, no background story explaining why they are on the side they are on, etc. You also have a good point about oversaturation of certain issues.
I’m fine with social commentary and political linings. But why does everything have to a trite political taking point? The original Twilight Zone did this very well. See the S4 Nazi episode for instance.
I thought it was okay. I thought every episode was connected. So… “aliens” were in control of the whole thing. Only one person made it out. “Neo” 😅 you could’ve seen it differently. Seeing a prop from previous episodes sometimes made me think of it that way.
You're so right about veiling real world social issues with fiction stuff going over people's heads. People who anti-sjw will say social commentary is a thing modern sjws started 🤦🏽♀️
watched your videos on Dresden Files... even though your editing skills are on point and you narration is good, but the video video itself was ridiculous i'm happy you did not make it as a youtuber.

Every time they try to remake the Twilight Zone it falls way short of the original and just makes the original look even more impressive.
I really liked the 80s version. But the original is better
It’s because they are!
Not to mention the quality of the actors at that time in history.
The run time of the new one doesn't help. Season 4 of the original showed why anything more than 25 minutes just doesn't work. Yes, there is occassionally one that does like Her Pilgrim Soul in the 80s version and Printer's Devil for Season 4, but those are a rarity.
I agree the original is the best but I love episodes from every iteration
Where would you place Black Mirror on the spectrum?
It's "Serling", not "Sterling".
The show also didn't begin in 1950.
Right, it was 1958 @@backforblood3421

Twilight Zone 2002 version gets to much hate. 2019 TZ was so horrible I'll take 2002 version over it any day and it's not even close.
2002 was pretty cool had a certain vibe to it. The 80s was bad to me and the original is just perfect even after all these years

I just can’t think why be defeated...
The damage done by the previous administrations of the U.S. government is one reason why we have migration coming our way. It takes 10 years or more to become a citizen in this country. We could make that shorter but republicans don't want to fund social security, let alone anything to do with citizenship. The current centrist leaders of the Democrats don't do anything because of their owners much like the corporations who own the republicans as well. Both sides realize the need for cheap labor and thus allow illegal immigration to continue at its current rate. The problem I have is when people view most of these immigrants as invaders. The company you work for is invading your paycheck by taking 80-90% of your actual pay because they deserve it more but yet you complain about people coming from U.S. ravaged countries that past neo liberal neo conservative administrations did. If. Of course take out the criminal ones but legalize all the illegals here now, just like the worst president for the working and poor class did, Reagan.
apparently im the first person here from amanda's video?? king u gotta upload more this video is great !!!
right! i love these kind of review videos
Thanks!
Almost every episode of 2019 TZ was about having your status quo changed. That showed how little we had to fear in 2019. Both the 80s and 60s TZ were afraid of war. 2002 TZ's episodes were afraid of death.
If Twilight Zone wants to come back, the real world needs to be terrifying. I guess were just not there right now.
Peele isn't as smart as he thinks he is either
Boring? I think that is nuts
I really enjoyed these, mainly because they were not straight rehashes of the original.
The new TZ in super bad , watched first 3 episode's and won't be watching anymore .
You can do whatever you want, but I recommend keeping an open mind
@@yaboio2124 i found it to be rubbish
parabot2 ok
Yeah it's not for me. Serling used to be subtle, Jordan Peele is not
@@yaboio2124 Keeping a open mind to Peele's anti white bull shit? xD
The new version also looks washed out and ugly due to bad color grading.
I haven’t seen it since it was released, but I remember liking the episode shown at 0:57. I finally ordered the Twilight Zone collection on Blu Ray, as it was on sale for a really good price on Amazon. I can’t wait for it to come today, it’s been a long time since I marathoned a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes.
The original is one of my favourite shows of all time . Only reboot that i thought decent was the 80s one. The episodes in 2019 show are too damn long. And too preachy
Rod Sterling? Seriously?
I know he keeps saying it wrong. But quite a few people say it that way. Smh
It quite literally doesn’t matter, you know what he’s taking about, everyone knows who he’s talking about, which means it’s a simple error that isn’t an issue
I think the biggest problem of this twilight zone is that it’s two on the nose and too long. Most of the episodes I figured out where the plot was going in the first 20 minutes and then I realize they were still another 40 minutes to go. Once you know where it’s going, it’s not that interesting anymore. And even on a few occasions when they did, keep me wondering if usually wasn’ a good pay off. I mean look at the Donald Trump episode to see just how painfully obvious everything was.
The new tells stories of todays time while the old tells the story of human nature overall can’t compete
It's Rod serling not sterling. So many people make that mistake
First, the episodes were too long. There's a reason why only the 4th season of the original had hour long episodes. Second. all of the episodes were too preachy. The original TZ had messages but was thought provoking. Serling clashed constantly with censors but delivered the message.
The new ones are too long.
30 minutes was enough.
Excellent analysis.
I thought season 2 was an improvement
Finally a great reviewer who’s logic and tastes I share, and he’s out for 8months
SERLING! ROD SERLING! there is no "t" in this man’s name! Stop calling him Sterling!
Jordon Peele thinks this is The Twilight Zone, But makes it like it's tales from the Crypt.
Tales from the crypt is supirior to enything peele did. Lamo
@@alien777objectively wrong, Get out is better
I did not watch this new twilight zone show and jugging by the clips and your great review I have not miss much.
2000s and 80s did a good job imo.
Fun fact: 2000s twilight zone intro song was played by nu metal band Korn.
Another one where you nailed exactly what the problem is. I would argue that Jordan Peele's other tv production, "Lovecraft Country," suffers from a lot of the same problems.
Two things:
The original Twilight Zone went to being an hour during the fifth season. They quickly realized this was a mistake and went back to 30 mins the following season.
The 1985 version is very underrated. There are two seasons and quite a few of them are extremely good.
1959: 22 minutes
2019: 39 minutes
Focused too much on being woke sadly
This is a good video. Thank you!
Great video man, keep at it!!
I thought it was good
es aburrida y es una porqueria
Como tu
Was planning to watch this, but thank you for showing me I haven't missed out on anything, good video.
I think that the biggest issue with quite many modern shows is the lack of subtlety.
Similar issue was in Doctor Who series during the Chibnal era.
The best life lesson/social commentary is the one the viewers figufe out themselves, the "Aha" moment when the episode ends, you put the pieces together and realize the message yourself.
Stuffing moral lessons into the audiences face is not just boring, but also insulting, as if the writers were expecting a dumb audience and so they spoonfeed you the message. It's simmilar to how The Avatars story was full of two dimensional characters, guy A is clearly evil, guy B is clearly good, no background story explaining why they are on the side they are on, etc.
You also have a good point about oversaturation of certain issues.
Hope your making more videos.
1:41 which series/movie is that ?
Having Jordan Peele involved was the first clue this thing was going to fail hard.
0:49 and that right there made me not want to watch it. Nothing has ever been made better by adding diversity for diversitys sake..
60 years not 70
Did you just forget to mention the hour-long Serling Season 4 slugfests with only 2 or 3 classics?
I recognise your voice.
I’m fine with social commentary and political linings. But why does everything have to a trite political taking point? The original Twilight Zone did this very well. See the S4 Nazi episode for instance.
you are 1000 percent Kitbosh
The lesson of the new Twilight Zone parable is WOKE, SJW, man-hating propaganda is unwatchable and insulting garbage.
Serling effort there 🙄
No more WokeZone episodes
This deserves WAY more views!
So...are you Swell’s editor? 😂
I am indeed, you have found the secret channel
My cousin was excited for this 1 too I haven't seen it But what
This episode is sexist!😡🤮🤢
Been there, done that.
You couldn't be more wrong when saying the force isnt important to star wars haha
sterling??? STERLING?!!??
😂
came to say hi after seeing your channel on Amanda's video :3 pop off king
DEI ruins everything
Yo come back
Hi guys, I have also done a review on the Twilight Zone (2019), check it out @
I thought it was okay. I thought every episode was connected. So… “aliens” were in control of the whole thing. Only one person made it out. “Neo” 😅 you could’ve seen it differently.
Seeing a prop from previous episodes sometimes made me think of it that way.
Did you quit TH-cam?
With all due respect I'm defending this amazing remake. Most just don't get the intellectual experience here. It's amazing
Great video.
The old twilight zone dealt with philosophy. The new one is just tiresome anti white propaganda
Common jordan peele L
It's also Racist
You're so right about veiling real world social issues with fiction stuff going over people's heads. People who anti-sjw will say social commentary is a thing modern sjws started 🤦🏽♀️
i think it is good the second season is really
good
im sorry but saying star wars would be the same without the force tells me you have never played kotor 2 lol
By that definition of science ficiton, doesn't that mean Harry Potter is science fiction?
Do you believe in patriarchy theory?🤔
💀💀
watched your videos on Dresden Files... even though your editing skills are on point and you narration is good, but the video video itself was ridiculous i'm happy you did not make it as a youtuber.
You’re clearly just an asshole who doesn’t know what he’s talking about💀💀
This show is full of woke garbage
Well, you're wrong because I thought it was great.
Bro doesn’t know what an opinion is💀💀
Go woke go broke
Easy because the real twilight zone fans is dead or into know show's
