They hating this EPISODE go hard well I like it
Awesome, absolutely! Some might hate on this episode simply because, beneath the obvious "magical mystery" lies VERY accurate content, unfiltered, right up in your face thru the entire episode. It makes them uncomfortable but OH WELL! The original Zone's unique approach ALWAYS put a microscope to hateful ugly subject matter. This episode couldn't have been more relevant to some wretched times mainstream history lessons hide on a shelf somewhere to forget. We won't forget though, as long as this kind of carnal hatred is still living and breathing!
10 stars for this one! :star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star:
Dude, this episode was so fucking tense... omg...I legit thought the school was going to explode or something just as Dorian was about to cross the school gate...omg.
I knew the minute he walk out that door they were going to get him lol
A great episode. The twilight zone has always been about hot political topics so if you have problems with that then why are you even watching it. This show was and is about problems with society.
This just breaks my heart for so many reasons and on so many levels. The supernatural really does pale in comparison to a human being's capacity for hate and violence. :(
What a powerful, superb episode. I can already imagine how it's gonna piss off a certain part of the internet but who cares. Great ep. Great ep! And I watched the old ep they reference legit like two days ago. Loving this reboot!!!
I liked where it could have gone... But I found myself bored from the third rewind.... Who wouldn't rewind and go by a lotto ticket... I mean... Really?
Much, much better than the previous two. While I think it was great, the mom's lecture at the end did drag it down from a potential classic. Just the visual of that confrontation, with so many other cameras chiming in to help record, is evocative enough to stand in. Just have to say though this episode is so stressful/cathartic to watch as a PoC that I almost broke out in tears at various moments throughout.
Sooo, on the lighter side, did you catch the tribute to the TOS episode Nick of Time? The "Mystic Seer" fortune telling machine is on the counter behind Mabel and appears in a close up of the seer's devil bobble head when Nina first rewinds the camcorder. Both episodes take place in restaurants with similar names, this one in the Busy Bee Diner and the original in the Busy Bee Cafe. Also, could Tennyson University be a tribute to Jamie Tennyson from The Silence? It would seem that there will be Easter Eggs in all the episodes. Have you found any others in this episode?
Easily the best episode far. A good message told well (and one that unfortunately continues to need telling), great performance from Sanaa Lathan. I particularly liked that her son and brother believed her without question.
Would have liked to see the idea develop further. When it came to the third rewind, I was getting a bit bored and would have liked to see something interesting come from it.
It's a neat concept, but I would have liked to see it develop and build further.
A nice episode. I wonder if this really depicts the USA or is this fiction, from my foreigner point of view, I have no idea.

Moral of the story: When communication and being nice doesn't help find strength in your own community and face the weak pathetic oppressor you apparently won't vanquish despite the efforts.
Needless to say I was, again, unimpressed and I still don't see Twilight Zone nor the way it made me feel watching Serling bring (most of) his stories with such style and eloquence.
I think Serling understood best that a good story is not about what's in it but about how you tell it. And more so... about who you tell it to. Us? Them? Or everyone in the audience?
Miss Peele KNOWS blue lives don't matter.
Heavy handed and somewhat clumsy in delivering its message. Also doesn't have the twist ending all episodes have.
If television stories are public dreams, representing and forming the zeitgiest, this is a good one.
White conservatives will hate it but this episode is true to the spirit of the original series. Tense with a message relevant to our times.
Honestly, one of the worst episodes of television I've ever seen. Last week's episode was actually okay but what the hec was this?!!
At least Steven Yeun, who I love, is in the next episode though.
An average episode with controversial themes. While I enjoyed the unusual strangeness of the Twilight Zone, everything else I wasn't really a fan of and felt forced.
Heavy handed stories like this will never educate the people who can change things. All it does is divide us more.
Jesus Christ. Damn. Scary. Emotional
Couldn't get into this one, the previous episode was significantly better. The story started out strong but faltered, the ending was decent though. This episode pulls no punches and tackles the issues in a head-on way, and while I can appreciate what they were going for, I don't think it worked well.
Better than last episode which was better than the previous episode. But still boring. Too much PC garbage. Give me break. Hope this show picks up pace.
This one had me thinking something was going to kill that guy. Creepy feeling all through this one.
A black mother taking her son to college. Finds that her camcorder can rewind time. Which is needed when a racist white cop harasses them where ever they go.
The best episode so far. Even if everything has to be PC these days. Yet everyone still acts like there’s not enough.
it's quite then same topic as one episode of the 2000s episode with the audiorecorder.

Rod Serling would have dug this episode, true to the spirit of the commentary he pioneered and drove his original series.
