Completely missed this and couldn't find a thread for it. Looks like the blu-ray for this is released on Monday 19th October.

Hosted by Academy Award® and Emmy® Award winner Jordan Peele, each of these ten Season One episodes of the CBS All Access Original Series is its own mesmerising, mind-bending journey into another dimension. Featuring contemporary, socially conscious storytelling, this anthology includes standout cast members like Oscar® nominee Kumail Nanjiani in his Emmy® nominated role, Seth Rogen, Tracy Morgan, Greg Kinnear, Sanaa Lathan, Adam Scott, DeWanda Wise, Zazie Beetz, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Cho, and others

I noticed the show was on Sky On Demand the other day and watched the first season in under a day, loved it. I’ll be adding this to the Christmas list along with the original series.

I gave up on this half way through. Not a patch on the classic originals.

Much like Steedeel above, I gave up on this part-way through. However, those extras are great and make me want to give it another chance. I wonder if watching the B&W versions would make a difference to how I enjoy them, it's certainly an interesting bonus.

I love a commentary so that's another consideration, plus the Serling featurette? Hmm, I'd definitely pick this one up if the price was right.

Unlike previous posters, I waited until just after halfway through before I gave up on this.

I really enjoyed the show. I guess it helps that I haven’t seen the original?

While I own the original Twilight Zone series on blu-ray, I'm not a fan. I respect the show for its clever writing and memorable story lines, but I'm of a generation where I feel I'm too old to appreciate it for its corny 60s episodic Norman Rockwell depictions. I saw the first 3 seasons and still need to watch the other two. The episodes they got to remaster in HD are beautiful though!

I also feel the same about the 80s version, which is just tacky and cheap. Again, an oddity of its time and has couple of standout story lines, as well as newer versions of the original series.

Cut to 2019 and basically you get a 'woke' version of the show, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as some of the episodes were good (the one with the cop and the cam corder), but it felt too on the nose. And Peele isn't a great Rod Serling host; The 80s show did away with that.

There was a 90s or 00s with Whitaker I believe which I never saw.

Anyway, Twilight Zone is a bit like "The Exorcist". Every now and then people will try to recreate it, but with every new take, the more I believe it was a product (and perhaps work of art) of its time.

Also, stop with these reboots, come up with something original. Peele should stop with the revival projects (Twilight Zone, Candyman)
