"The twilight zone" is a political and existentialist science fiction anthology series whose subject matter is the analysis of the average man's phobies in the urban America of the 1960's. Many times, Rod Serling or his writers use the time travel gimmick and the characters of the angel or the alien in order to show the alienation of the individual. "The after hours" and "The eye of the beholder" represent the summit of the show. In other words, a magic blend of great artistry, icon-like characters and smart drama that stays forever in your memories. Rod Serling created the first worthwhile fantasy series in the history of television. Unfortunately, the last two seasons were not so brilliant. I am very fond of "The obsolete man" which deals with Rod Serling's favourite theme : totalitarianism. Rod Serling also wrote two memorable film scripts : "Seven days in May" and "Planet of the apes". Remember ! Your next stop : The twilight zone !
