As you point out they’ve tried this before. Even the original Twilight Zone flopped after it’s first few seasons (Rod Serling lost creative control and the show went to 1 hour). You can’t bottle lightning. Besides, the focus won’t be on the story. It will be on “diversity” first, story second.
I imagine that the twists will align predictably.
Yeah exactly. Network TV seems more focused on “diversity” than anything else.
