Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe Twilight Zone has always been about holding a mirror up to society, and Peele's version tries to do that for a modern audience.
Some episodes capture the spirit of Rod Serling's original better than others, but the ambition is always there.
When the reboot works, it feels like a worthy successor to the classic series; when it doesn't, it feels like a pale imitation.
