So, we recently dropped netflix in favor of CBS and crunchyroll (Talia is big into Anime right now). Figure we'll rotate some services to catch up on series that interest us. So...Twilight Zone:Episode 1: The Comedian. I guess interesting ish concept? But I didn't totally dig the performance and it was SUPER predictable for me as a horror buff who adores be careful what you wish for stories. Episode 2: Terror at 30000 ft. I was semi expecting yet another remake on the classic, but it was completely re-imagined, and I really liked this one. Adam Scott really nails the performance which is ever more restrained than either Shatner or Lithgow, and works well with the re-imagining. Episode 3: Rewind...Ok, this episode was very uncomfortable to watch but it was supposed to be. It follows a mom and son being pestered by a racist cop, and just keeps ramping up the racism at every turn no matter what they do to the point of softcore horror levels, and is FANTASTIC in its uncomfortableness up to a point...but it stumbles in the third act with some weird ass [poop] about 'the old country' and magic supposedly brought from Africa, but that just becomes lip service and we then go on an underground railroad analog before going back into racist cops...and an all black university for some reason?
