For one, every central premise of each episode is stolen from another show or episode.

Episode two is stolen from Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, episode three is stolen from Rewind.

Every episode is just an SJW re-imagining of an old Twilight Zone episode, except really long, really boring, really brain dead commentary.

I actually kind of liked the plane episode, though.

It is so bad that I am legitimately entertaining the idea that the episodes are intentionally bad and most of the episodes actually take place in a simulation or something and that the whole show is connected.

In that theory "6 Degrees of freedom" is the only episode that is actually canon. There is some plot element to that episode that makes this theory make some sense.

I was going to make a youtube video explaining the theory and giving evidence for it, I started writing the script for the video but I don't know if it's worth it spending 25 hours to make a video for my 250 sub channel about a show that nobody likes or cares about with a theory that is 95% not going to be true.

He helped come up with the airplane episode and is executive producer which usually just means he finances it. A regular producer will be hands-on with the day-to-day stuff.

So his involvement is pretty limited overall.

It really is though, some eps like the cop one are as heavy handed as a sarah mclachlan animal rescue ad.

Which is a shame because that episode could have been salvaged with a different ending.

I'm guessing anyone who defends the show hasn't seen it

Or maybe only saw episode 1 or something, which was relatively subtle.

The main character complains about guns, white racists, #metoo stuff, but at no point does it portray this as anything more than his opinion.

But even then the episode was very boring and derivative. The ending was ripped straight from the butterfly effect too, which is very annoying

Jordan Peele just hosts it. He's not involved in the creative process.

The original show was much better written.

This new show is well directed though

Many classic Twilight Zone episodes were "SJW" of its time too. Some weren't even subtle about it.

'SJW of the time' was "We should treat people more equally" and not "literally every police officer is a very extremely racist"

Old SJW wasn't SJW because it wasn't a "warrior" it was about compassion and decency. The reason SJW is called what it is is because it's more about the fight than anything. It's about shaming much more than about empathy. Othering more than inclusion.

Maybe better written than the new series but well-written in general? I dunno. Some eps were, others were too on the nose.

True. I'm just making sure people are aware that classic Twilight Zone wasn't apolitical.
