I love that we have an episode focused on young women in school that doesn’t go full Carrie. We got a lot of nods to things old and new, and deserved to have a little high school chaos in the mix. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing seeing how this second season felt more experimental. This episode was much more Are You Afraid of the Dark?than The Twilight Zone. Among the Untrodden (Season 2, Episode 5)Ī transfer student thinks her new bully might have psychic abilities. While it’s a little on the slower side, it’s definitely not the worst episode of the bunch. If there’s one thing I’ll always make time for, it’s seeing Black women in space serving astronaut realness. Not only does this episode of The Twilight Zone pay homage to Ray Bradbury, but it also has Jessica Williams included in this stellar cast. Six Degrees of Freedom (Season 1, Episode 6)Ī team heads to Mars after a nuclear war on Earth. As someone who’s afraid of flying, I never want to see Adam Scott in an airport after watching this episode.ġ6. While neither version lands in my personal favorites, I respect the tension and claustrophobia they both provide. The premise is familiar because we’ve all seen the episode from the 60s called “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”. This one gets cool points for having Adam Scott as the lead and also for being a call back to the original series. Nightmare at 30,000 Feet (Season 1, Episode 2)Ī journalist with PTSD finds himself trapped on a plane with a podcast telling him the plane is doomed. This is one of the episodes that thrives because the cast sells you something that you didn’t think you wanted to buy. However, once things took a turn and the stakes got raised, I lived! I owe it another rewatch just for the killer octopus vibes. The first half had me thinking this wasn’t the episode for me and I was making peace with that. I was also not expecting the second half to get so spicy. I was not expecting see Joel McHale turn up in this episode. No one would be the wiser.Ī team of scientists on a research mission in the Antarctic discovers a deadly species. It’s also one of the episodes that could easily cut the alien out and just be a show about grief. However, the acting made it hard to look away and to not empathize with these characters a little. It’s a very slow burn that’s also a little too predictable for me to ever get truly invested. This episode stars Jenna Elfman and Christopher Meloni as the leads in one of the smallest casts of the whole series. A Human Face (Season 2, Episode 7)Ī grieving couple are visited by an alien lifeform that they believe might be their recently deceased daughter.

It being my least favorite episode is a testament to how great the series was overall. It gave me enough nostalgia and mystery for me to go along with the ride.

It’s a fun episode about aliens that gives us time with Gretchen Mol, Greta Lee, and George Takei. This one sees the return of the Kanamits from the original series episode “To Serve Man”.

You Might Also Like (Season 2, Episode 10)Ī woman realizes she, and her neighbor, are losing time while awaiting the egg that “they need.” Written and directed by Osgood Perkins ( The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) this unsettling episode stands as the series finale.

Which is why I decided to use my time with Paramount+ to rewatch and rank the entire series. Although, I’m sad that we’ll never know what a third and fourth season would’ve delivered. I’m happy they got to leave when they felt it was time. It wasn’t until I was researching this article that I discovered Monkeypaw Productions decided to end it. I also wondered if everyone was just tired of hearing the word “woke” get misused (and overused) by internet trolls and packed it up. I always assumed it was because it was on CBS All Access which was a service no one was going to pay for. What seemed like another great anthology ended after two seasons. However, we can’t have nice things for long on this planet.
