Spoilers Ahead!!! All spoilers for each episode are unmarked.

General

  • As a homage to the original series, all the episodes for Season 1 are available now in color and black & white, giving them the original Creepy Awesome feeling of Rod Serling's show.

Episodes

The Comedian
  • As much as a Tear Jerker as Samir Wassan's final stand-up routine is, his delivery throughout it seems to indicate that if he's gonna pull a Heroic Sacrifice to undo his actions, he might as well go all out and give the audience one hell of a show.
    "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'VE BEEN SAMIR WASSAN!"

Replay

  • After struggling mightily to find some way to avoid being victimized by the racist cop Lasky, Nina learns from her brother about a secret tunnel network created for this very purpose long ago, finally succeeding by reconnecting with her roots. And when Lasky still tracks her down after she arrives at the college, she has allies all around who promptly start filming the altercation, ensuring that anything he tries will go viral like so many other cases of police brutality in recent years. Nina then takes the opportunity to make a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, taking back every bit of power that Lasky had been stealing from her. In the political climate of 2019, it hits home hard.

Blurryman

  • The reveal that Rod Serling has been cleverly hidden in each episode of the season.
  • Rod Serling delivering the final narration for the Season 1 finale is a great love letter to fans of the original series.

Try, Try

  • Claudia kicking Marc's ass when he tries to rape her, then threatening to do it every time he tries in the "Groundhog Day" Loop. In the next loop, even though she isn't aware of it, Marc is scared enough of her to leave her alone.
