I really enjoyed The Comedian, bummed the whole series didn’t drop though, guess I’m waiting a couple months to use my free trial
I dug it. Even the second episode was pretty in line with the tone of the original series although that style of ending is a little over the top for modern audiences maybe? I’m such a die hard though. Maybe I’ll think differently later.
As a very casual fan of the original series I enjoyed both of these a lot. Twilight Zone is all about that “feel” for me and this has it.
I mean I’m definitely expecting Twilight Zone, I’m just also expecting at least mid-tier level quality TZ. The first episode fell down on almost every marker of what makes a great TZ story. I did like the kid though, he was really charming.
I really am interested in Rewind based on all the initial reviews. I feel like that has the best chance of being a new classic for the show. And I’m dying to know what the story is in the Luke Kirby one.
The Comedian was fine. I'm curious about future episodes, but I'm not as excited as I was before. Kinda feel like finally watching through all of the original series. I've only watched a couple eps here and there over the years.
I will say the liberal use of language makes this make more sense on CBS all access. No one has to license the TZ brand from CBS if they do it themselves and it brought tons of people over to their platform. I was surprised about some stuff on their platform. Twin Peaks is an abc show!
The comedian was ok, but I find it hard to imagine that I would have enjoyed that if it was a more generic billing of actors instead of Kumail / Tracy / Peele. May check the rest of them out since there is enough star power to pique my curiosity but my expectations have been lowered.
Replay was GREAT. CBS would never air this show on their over the air network but they own the Twilight Zone, Jordan is making it fresh and new while embracing and respecting the past, and them pushing the boundaries with this is really a win for everyone involved. Biggest bummer is that it won’t get eyes on a platform like this. I’m hoping Jordan, Carolyn, and the rest of the team not only retain this level of creative control over the end product, but also have the ability to get this over to Netflix for a second run so we can get a second season out of this. Also, I tried Discovery but I really just do not care for the Klingons like the fan base does so it really just bored me. I’ll try it again when I’m in the headspace.
I’m very excited to see Replay whenever I can do my free trial. I’d be surprised if any other episode is better based on the reviews I’ve seen.
still haven't watched anything other than the first episode because I don't want to sign up for CBS all access
kinda surprised it got renewed already. I haven't heard anyone talking about this show at all and although I've watched every episode and will continue to, it's been pretty underwhelming.
Has anybody kept up with this? I’ve been reading each new review and none of it seems like it’s worth my time even with a free trial. I’m really bummed that this is such a dud.
I’ve been too busy but I don’t hear anyone talking about it really which is a bummer. I’ve enjoyed the couple episodes I saw though!
I've kept up. It's been okay but nothing worth going out of your way to watch. Lots of guest stars with wasted potential.
That’s the feel I’m getting across the board. Maybe if it came to Hulu or something I’d throw a couple on, but not worth messing with a new subscription.
