"The Twilight Zone" was the brainchild of Emmy Award-winner Rod Serling, who served as host and wrote over 80 episodes of the original show's 150-plus episode run. It's a strange mix of horror, science-fiction, drama, comedy and superstition. Serling introduced each episode, and many of the black and white hours concluded with a surprise ending. Actors such as Burt Reynolds, Roddy McDowell and Robert Redford made appearances in some of the more well-known stories.

Zack Handlen AV Club The hour plays too much like a collection of conflicting impulses, all of which are striving towards the same, undeniable conclusion, but rarely cohering into anything greater than themselves. Rated: B- May 1, 2018 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club Legitimately, laugh out loud funny, and it does get very, very goofy in places. But there's something holding all of this together that makes it work. Rated: A- May 1, 2018 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Season Four switched to an hour-long format, which proved to be far less effective for the kinds of stories and punchy dramatic twist that Rod Serling was so good at... May 6, 2023 Full Review Chris Alexander Fangoria Serling almost single-handedly set the standard for sophisticated television during the medium's Golden Age and beyond. Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects "He's Alive" is far from a series-best episode, but thanks to Hopper it does feature one of the show's most dramatically rendered performances. May 9, 2018 Full Review Scott Beggs Thrillist The new format was rough [but] one of the gems is "The Thirty-Fathom Grave." May 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
