Review of Replay

The Twilight Zone: Replay (2019)
Season 1, Episode 3
Seriously? The horse isn't just dead, it is mush.

Jordan Peele has got to be the most preachy writer in Hollywood. "Cops hunt and kill black people." That trope was tired in the 90s but still more relevant than today, and the drum is still being beaten by the race-hustlers. I was hoping through the whole episode that there would be an original twist, like the cop was a serial killer, or he was actually trying to save them from something. Nope, they decided to go with the narrative popularized in the 70's and repeated over and over again in shows for the next hundred years. I'm bummed, a cool premise, but such a tired old trope that doesn't even sort of ring true today. Laaaazzy writing.
