It is hard to judge this series fairly without comparison to the original series and it is hard to imagine that anyone with an interest in the genre won't have seen this. Compared to the reboot in the 1980s this is miles better but when looking to the original series of The Twilight Zone it really is hard to compare to a series which, in my eyes, was perfection. Other modern anthology series have managed to get close, Black Mirror and Inside No. 9 both spring to mind and although you can easily say they were influenced they would never be compared. The actors are fantastic, the sets and cinematography are beautiful but when it comes to the stories themselves although I find it hard to be objective but feel they are just slightly lacking. If it didn't carry The Twilight Zone name I can imagine it would be viewed more favourably without the comparison but I was pleasantly entertained so believe it will be worth seeing what the second series has to offer. It certainly has promise.
