Drama Fantasy Horror
The second season—based on three episodes sent to critics (“Meet in the Middle”, “The Who of You” and “You Might Also Like”)—have received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season holds an approval rating of 67% based on 18 reviews, with an average rating of 6.29/10. The website’s critical consensus reads, “The Twilight Zone sophomore season shines when it dares to be bold, but long runtimes and predictable plotting hold it back from reaching its full potential.” Metacritic assigned the second season a weighted average score of 55 out of 100 based on 6 critics, indicating “mixed or average reviews.”
Kristen Lopez of IndieWire gave the three episodes a collective grade of “B-” and wrote, “These episodes certainly feel more strongly written than Season 1, and if the editing tightens up like it did before, these new entries could be amazing. It’ll be hard for any other episode to be better than ‘You Might Also Like’, though, which is a pure masterpiece.” Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com wrote that “every episode in this trio disappoints to varying degrees”.
