The Twilight Zone
2019Much like the original series, each episode in this incarnation of The Twilight Zone deals with different topics such as supernatural occurrences, racism, social issues, misinformation in the press, alien invasions, and immigration with an unusual and unexpected twist in each one. Notable episodes include Sanaa Lathan as a woman who discovers that her camcorder can turn back time, Chris O'Dowd as an anthropologist who studies a strange gun, Morena Baccarin as a hotel manager who finds everyone around her standing still, and Damon Wayans Jr. as a church handyman who finds that he can change his town using a smaller model of it. John Larroquette, Donna Dixon, Eric Keenleyside, Kristin Lehman, Ryan Robbins, Peter Kelamis, Ethan Embry, Gil Bellows, and George Takei also worked in previous Twilight Zone projects. While "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet" goes by a path that is different from that of "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," the episode "You Might Also Like" is connected with the classic episode "To Serve Man." The episode "Blurryman" serves as a metafictional episode that has Mark Silverman reprising his impersonation of Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction. Previous Twilight Zone series had episodes with metafictional elements, notably the original series episode "A World of His Own" where the main character interacts with Rod, and the 80s revival series episode "Personal Demons" that had Martin Balsam portraying a fictional version of the episode's writer.
