    Bigotry made a lot of Accounts to Review this show.

    Everyone is so obssesed with it being PC or not, they simply are unable to have an opinion for themselves, it has to be all black or white, republican or liberal. Pretty much none of the reviewers in here are able to separate this, the episode was confusing in a bad way, the ending was overly ambiguous, overwritten, too much dialogue trying to explain the philosophy behind it instead of showing us. But, it has nothing to do with political correctness or not, the ¨Not all men¨ episode is one of the most solid ones narratively and yet is the lowest score in here. They got big shoes to fill, thats what I understood from this episode and that is fine, i hope they do this better on the next attempt, 40 mins episodes are a no go for me. Go back to telling your story in 23 minutes.

    Pretty Good.

    I'll be honest, I hated most of the episodes of this season - The Comedian, Nightmare at 30,000 Feet, A Traveler, Six Degrees of Freedom and The Blue Scorpion are the only ones I find to be genuinely good in their own ways but then again, I haven't watched the other Twilight Zones shows.

    Not to beat a dead horse, but putting an obvious, blatant and disrespectful agenda screaming out of the other episodes obviously hasn't worked and I hope the writers and showrunners take the criticisms and feedback to heart for the second season.

    Better by comparison

    By comparison to the rest of the garbage heap that is this series, this was a decent episode. However, the mystery of the Blurryman is instantly obvious and it played out more like a horror film than a Twilight Zone episode. Considering what preceded this episode in this series, the writers seem to have completely missed the point of their own conclusion.

    Haunting tale when the past becomes present and it's a sentimental feel, best episode of the series!

    The "TZ" 2019 series closed out pretty well with it's final episode called "Blurryman" as it's a throwback and has a vibe and feel to honor the classic series. The tale involves Sophie Gelson(Zazie Beetz "Atlanta", and "Joker") who as a writer on the current 2019 "TZ" series starts to feel something just isn't right as she's under pressure from the boss Jordan Peele. Only as she struggles with the episode script she starts to see a strange and shadowy like figure on the set of the episode is it real or is she losing her mind? She even remembers back to her past and younger years as she enjoyed and like the classic "Twilight Zone". I don't want to spoil this episode twist with a sentimental feel as after the shadowy figure is revealed it's a classic icon of the series it's like the past comes into the present for Sophie as she's calmed and at ease with her current project and now feels right at home to write and finish her script. Overall better episode of the 2019 season nice how it blended old with new as it was a classic nice sentimental feel and touch!

      There is a picture/sticker of Rod Serling on Sophie's laptop computer shortly after the discussion about how Serling used to appear in every episode "until now."
    • Quotes

      Rod Serling: [closing narration] What do we do when our world is turned upside down? When everything we thought to be true is ripped away and we're forced to face a new reality? Sophie Gelson has just awoken to the fact that when we put away childish things, we may be closing our eyes instead of opening them and that perhaps our only hope is to face our reality. A multitude of truths not shrinking from that vital, arrogant, fatal, dominant X beyond imagination, but to embrace it. Top open ourselves to the unknown. Not the end of the story, but a new beginning for the Twilight Zone.
