Twice in a Lifetime is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 5 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Al Waxman's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

There is a reason Twice in a Lifetime keeps coming up in conversation. Twice in a Lifetime treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Prematurely deceased people are given the opportunity to correct something that went wrong in their lives and thus change them for the better. The human element stays intact thanks to Al Waxman and Paul Popowich, who anchor every scene. 2 seasons (1999–2001) gave the story room most shows never get. What separates Twice in a Lifetime from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Twice in a Lifetime is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. The tonal similarities to Ancient Aliens are real, though Twice in a Lifetime carves out its own identity quickly. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Al Waxman grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
