Critic Reviews for The Twilight Zone: Season 1
All Critics (22) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (0)
So far ahead of its time... that the episodes resonate thrillingly 50 years later.
Serling's show never cut artistic corners. It didn't just rely on the twist.
Ultimately, The Twilight Zone is indispensable to both sci-fi and horror.
This episode should be required viewing for anyone who worries about the current state of America.
Unlike a number of science fiction properties, be them books or movies, The Twilight Zone didn't have a grudge against actual science.
This show is at its best when it makes us re-examine the harder subjects of life.
Audience Reviews for The Twilight Zone: Season 1
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man." From Rod Serling comes the iconic sci-fi/fantasy anthology series The Twilight Zone. Dealing with themes of time travel, identity, and the nature of reality, Season 1 includes such classic episodes as "Time Enough at Last," "The Hitch-Hiker," "Third From the Sun," "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," and "A Stop at Willoughby." Additionally, some impressive guest stars are featured, including Ed Wynn, Martin Landau, Burgess Meredith, and Roddy McDowall. Also, prolific sci-fi writers Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont contribute a number scripts (though the majority of episodes are written or adapted by Serling). There are a some duds in the 36 episode first season of The Twilight Zone, but overall it's extraordinarily powerful and captures the imagination.
