I was engaging in wishful thinking. You are right with the Jordan Peele comparison. I remember hearing rave reviews for Get Out and I saw it when it came to television and was confused because it was just the same “white man bad” or race narrative we’ve been hearing. He gets treated like Hitchcock. At some point the “diverse reboot” trend has to run its course

He gets treated like Hitchcock.

Indeed.

Jordan Peele is frequently compared to Alfred Hitchcock, often referred to by critics and media as a "modern-day Hitchcock" or a new "master of suspense".

(((CBS))) gave him the reboot of "The Twilight Zone" back in 2019, which went NOWHERE because "make it black."

Yea I didn’t even bother watching it. I love the original and the 80s revival. Even like the early 00s version. I knew what to expect with his version plus I don’t really watch much that came out after 2014

Can't watch ANYTHING today! All we got is Christ, our families and our hobbies.

True. Lots of older shows, movies, and books too.
