Reviews

Benemon Rod Serling´s Twilight Zone is probably one of the best, acclaimed and most well known TV Shows of the old Days. Even after Decades it will fascinate and suprise Audiences. A shame if i wouldn´t give Twilight Zone a 10/10.
gwnightscream This TV anthology series unfolds tales occurring in the past, present & future whether they're bizarre, eerie or even silly. It changed TV in the early 60's consisting of sci-fi, horror & fantasy with the late, Rod Serling as creator, narrator & host. This is the pinnacle of anthologies and features stars like, William Shatner, Burgess Meredith and Jack Warden. I highly recommend this.
diegogarcia668 Every single episode of this series travel us, to a different adventure, which everybody can enjoy. Not only, the episodes are very unique for its time but also deliver a strong message. Sometimes it teaches you strong values for life, other times it reveals an irony or delivers salvation to the main character. The characters all are smartly developed and the script is even better. The acting is extremely wonderful and honestly there are very few episodes which i didn't fully enjoy. I am not surprised that Rob Sterling , the creator of the series was voted the most iconic sci-fi author. Although the series, is quite old it is still a thrilling experience which i recommend definitely.
bullfox When I wrote this review I was feeling like I myself am there "In the fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man."To say that the Serling's show is good — it's to say nothing. In the 60's, when television was not yet a part of the everyday life of humanity, as it is now, many were stunned by approach to thing, what seems to be pure entertainment for the evening at a bottle of beer. That's how the things was at first. But Rod Serling would not be Rod Serling, if he had been so simple, naive and vulgar. By itself, the TV series "The Twilight Zone" — it is something, that hardly anyone is still able to repeat. And although it was already almost nearly 56 years since had been shown a pilot series of this intellectual sight (which is, unlike most modern shows, really valued intelligence of its audience) which turned an idea of ​​how to do a good and quality television work — I still never saw anything like that. There were many sequels, reimaginings, imitations and so on, but it was not even close to original. "The Twilight Zone" — the one and only thing in it's genre (unless, of course, you will be able to define it). Now I would like to say about the actual show itself.Each series is a little history on the theme "You are about to enter another dimension." No matter what the time is there. It may be past, present or future. Perhaps it is our planet, but it may be completely different, it may be even a parallel world — and everything is going in this vein. And, of course, the main characters and the characters of the series — the actual people. In a relatively short history "The Twilight Zone" has managed to light up a huge number of stars of the first magnitude (for many people involved in the project it was the first success, which led to further career). Telly Savalas, William Shatner, Burgess Meredith, Dennis Hopper, Jonathan Winters, Peter Falk — you can't count them all. Talk about drama and acting component may be a long time but I will confine myself a couple of words — they are gorgeous. Each new series — a look into the depths of yourself, it is a casual but creative self-analysis. And in our time it's not typical for all television programs, and (most important thing in my opinion) — an attempt to show the people in those circumstances, and those roles, in which person may have never been and never will be. The creators wanted to give us something, that we usually avoid — awareness of who could we were, perhaps not specific people, but rather specific types of people, in quite ordinary situations, but clearly not in the everyday surroundings. Show is asking questions like "Who are we in this (and, possibly, in the other) world?", "What is evil and what is good?" and much more of familiar and eternal questions, but not in familiar way.People always believe what they were taught to believe since childhood. And if you seem for a moment that you see something unexplainable perhaps it is your imagination and perhaps your journey on the "Twilight Zone" is not over "If you need a drug to become a good writer, then you're not a good writer."© Rodman Edward Serling
