Featured review
Another disappointment
Once again the new TZ lets us down. I have no problem with the issues presented on these new episodes, but why do we have to be preached to each week? The writing is once again a major problem. The original Twilight Zone was renown for its heartfelt scripts, great dialogue and clever twist endings. Not every episode had a surprise ending, but enough of them did to make that a hallmark of the show. There hasn't been a decent twist in any of the episodes of this reboot so far, and this is number 8 of the series. 'Point Of Origin', like most of the past weeks on this show telegraphs its ending long before it arrives, and the writing is so flat that in its efforts to be thought-provoking it leaves me with a big 'that's it?'. This show doesn't hold a candle to the original TZ, and pales in comparison to Black Mirror, the show that is the definitive torchbearer of the Twilight Zone legacy.
