Seven ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes that are eerily timely during the coronavirus pandemic


Could someone who has access to Washington Post follow this link to see what episodes they are talking about? And why they think these episodes are relevant to our present situation.

Excellent link!

I have seen these and they do have relevance to human behavior and the Covid-19 situation.

1. The first recommendation is probably the best episode.

It is about a man who just wants to be left alone to read.

The others are good also, touching on human themes as paranoia, loneliness, isolation, group dynamics in confined spaces.
