The first trailer for Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone reboot was launched during Super Bowl LIII, and it couldn't have been more on-point. Featuring the host-slash-producer for the CBS All Access series, the ad appeared to cut through the regular broadcast of the Super Bowl as the actor took the field to question our reality with the help of that hypnotic spiral and a door planted smack dab on the middle of the field. That's when that creepy cadence of the show's iconic theme song comes on, and it's all very simple and spoiler-free but still completely intense.

Social media users had a bit of trouble catching up with what was going on at first.

For real, I thought it was going to be Jordan Peele dressed as Obama promoting a new car or something
