Worth Watching: 'Twilight Zone' Returns, ...The Twilight Zone (streaming on CBS All Access): Welcome back to that special region of the mind that "lies between the pit of one's fears and the summit of one's knowledge." Executive producer Jordan Peele (
Get Out,
Us) once again fills the narrator role of Rod Serling with pronounced understatement in this reboot, as a second season of 10 fantastical stories drops all at once for a binge-watching escape from our own personal twilight zones. Only a few episodes were made available for preview ahead of launch, and my favorite so far is "The Who of You," a body-switching caper in which the soul of a failed actor (Ethan Embry) keeps hopping into various bodies (including Billy Porter as a flamboyant psychic) after a desperate act goes awry. The story builds to a satisfying, ironic finish, just how we like it. (Although I miss the days when the episodes clocked in at under a half-hour.) Guest stars this season include Jenna Elfman, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, Joel McHale, Christopher Meloni, Gretchen Mol, Jimmi Simpson (as a memorably lonely-hearted sad sack), Jurnee Smollett and Damon Wayans, Jr.
