The outer limits was good too.
I liked the original series but always considered it woke and mostly liberal propaganda, and I was just a kid, but it was so obviously a brainwashing series.

I see that the original episodes were 25 minutes. Today they’d be sixteen minutes or even less with commercials.
Show approximately 60-64 years old. Exploring issues of life, death, morality, fear, likes and dislikes, greed, time, past contemporary, future . Great show done in 25 minutes in black and white and able to pierce the psyche of thoughtful people through all the generations.
Wouldn’t work today as 45 mins content+15 mins of adverts needed. PC characters and situations with men hunks and female bombshells needed. Plus the finality and futility of life would not be dealt with in order to coddle the emotional naivete of today’s young audiences.
Rod Serling:
“…the worst aspect of our time is prejudice… In almost everything I’ve written, there is a thread of this—man’s seemingly palpable need to dislike someone other than himself.”
So that’s a yes.
The new (2019- ) Twilight Zone must be woke.
The older one wasn’t.
I sometimes did wonder, though, if people really deserved the comeuppance that Serling gave them.
It was pretty brilliant

I finally have Time Enough To Last to watch all The Twilight Zone episodes (reaching for the tv remote, glasses fall off and shatter...) Darn!!
