"There is nothing wrong with your television set." That famous line opens each episode of the classic science fiction anthology series as part of a narration that makes people think their TVs are being controlled. Episodes of the series, which numbered 49 over the course of two seasons, range from a mix of sci-fi and horror that feature "scary monster" motifs to episodes focused on the sci-fi aspects of the stories. Episode writers include such notables as series creator Leslie Stevens and Harlan Ellison.

Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Though woefully underfunded, this series had a wicked creative streak running through it, expressionist photography that gives some episodes a dreamy, surreal quality, strong casts, and solid directors. Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy These episodes aren't overall as potent as those from the knockout first season, although there are a few gems in the gathering.

Johnathon W While not an excellent as the first season, this another classic thanks to standouts like "Soldier" and "Demon With a Glass Hand" (both which were written by Harlan Ellison). However, thanks to a fantastic ensemble of actors, ranging from Robert Duvall to Leonard Nimoy, along with a top notch crew, this remains one of the great science fiction anthology series ever. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
