This new iteration of Twilight Zone is a dismal failure of the original 1950s'60s series.
Even the 1980s installation of Twilight Zone did a much better job of capturing the tense, atmospheric suspense of the original series.
However, this newest version falls flat, vey flat.
Maybe they thought that by adding a bunch of useless f-bombs into the already weak dialogue, that would keep this version edgy and relevant. Unfortunately, It did not.
I hate that for Jordan Peele and expected this to be so much better.
If you go into these new Twilight Zone episodes expecting to be swept back into the nostalgic sci-fi/thriller/psychological mind trip of the days of ol', you will be sorely disappointed.

Skip this overworked, drawn-out, joke of a mini-series and watch the 1990 movie version of the same real life murder: "A Killing in a Small Town" starring Barbara Hershey. Hershey won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Candice Morrison.
Seems like most reviewers for "Candy" are enamored with Jessica Biel's beauty, but she plays this more like a dark comedy, so it was hard to get through all five episodes because I couldn't take her seriously. Plus, Lee Garlington brought an extra creepiness to her portrayal of Betty/Peggy, so that laundry room scene with the axe was incredibly tense. I cannot believe this "Candy" version has a 7.2 rating, it was horrible.

Sad to see stars like Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall sign on for such a rehashed and unrealistic plot. Who's writing this trash, anyways, people who have never talked to anyone in a real marriage? That whole, "I think she's got a 'thing' for you. giggle-hee-hee, It's okay, I think it's cute" said no woman EVER regarding some younger woman who her husband has already stated he finds physically attractive. Such bad decisions by the main characters when it was obvious things were going south made it easy to not care what happened to them. And that whole, "I can't have a baby...I'm not a real woman" quote by Hall's character...puh-leease! Can we stop with that reproductive-normative mess, like motherhood is the be-all-end-all for every woman? ~Sigh~ Chestnut and Hall deserved a much better script and a much better plot for their level of talent. They each have been in the business far too long to be starring in a storyline that is so overdone and repetitive. Nothing to see here folks...
