* OppressiveImmigrationEnforcement: The government agency hunting immigrants from another dimension in [[Recap/TheTwilightZone2019S1E8PointOfOrigin "Point Of Origin"]] are overall presented as vicious bigots, who despite all the immigrants we see being peaceful, honest, productive members who have long acclimatised to the new society are fixated on detaining then deporting them back overall [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence for no other reason than they are technically different]], justifying it with accusations of theirs's being a "lesser dimension" and their presence "[[FantasticRacism diluting the natural evolution of our lives]]". Their detainment facility is concrete prison with no lighting, staffed by apathetic guards who don't care in the slightest about the prisoners well being, and their interrogators are merciless sadists who regularly utilise torture in ascertaining whether the accused is from another dimension.

* AdultFear: Appears in several episodes:
** [[Recap/TheTwilightZone2019S1E3Replay "Replay"]] covers [[{{Profiling}} racial profiling]] and the arbitrary whims of [[TheNeidermeyer callous police officers,]] having to [[ExtremeDoormat stay polite and friendly]] even as [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem your rights are violated,]] and ''still'' having the risk of [[PoliceBrutality being attacked for any reason,]] which is too close to RealLife for many viewers.
** [[Recap/TheTwilightZone2019S1E7NotAllMen "Not All Men"]] draws a lot of tension from its depiction of how typical male entitlement feels from a woman's perspective.
