Evergreen

Oh well, if we are going to do the Twilight Zone again, let's do it in the classical formula.

"Evergreen" is a rather shocking and brutal episode of the rebooted early 2000s "Twilight Zone" series. It's the first and only episode I've seen so far and while I did enjoy it very much, it's much more brutal and dark than the shows from the original series.

A family moves into a gated community called Evergreen. It soon becomes obvious that their oldest daughter is a real piece of work. She apparently burned down her school, acts very gothy, is incredibly negative and very rebellious. In short, she's the sort of teen most parents would incarcerate or disown! And, the show did a great job of making you hate her.

From the start, the girl is intent on breaking the rules or escaping what is essentially a compound...or a prison-like 'perfect' community. And, she seems to not care one bit who she hurts to escape...and she obviously is trying to lead her younger sister in the wrong direction. So what's next? Well, I won't say as I don't want to ruin it...but it's shocking!

As a former therapist and teacher, I could actually empathize A LOT with the parents in this one. Some kids just seem to need 'the Evergreen treatment'! Well made and it made me want to see more!

As a great fan of the classic Twilight Zone series this opening episode should be better in my opinion, Evergreen is sort of private condominium ruled by severe laws of behavior, the Willows taken his family to live there, hoping refurbish his teenager older girl Jenna from the drugs, tattoos and forestall her of inspiration of devil music, there she meets a neighbor young guy Logan Agar in same status, however soon he is arrest to be trial by the leader's comunity security and send by a reformatory school called Arcadia, then Jenny research about this unknown school and finds anything about, she and his younger sister settles a plain to escape from there, therefore...well see by yourself, sadly not in the same level of the classic Rod Serling's series!!!
