4/10
Shame...

I didn't grow up with this show, so I know maybe the nostalgia & awesomeness was lost on me. I kept hearing about the show and was excited when Hulu added quite a few of the seasons. I read a review saying that it gets better once it turns color so I'm pushing my way thru the first black and white seasons HOPING I like it.... but for now, it drives me absolutely insane. The over-dramatic acting, a few of the characters are excessively pushy, lots of dumb actions (when Maggie dies but the nurse just nonchalantly goes to call a doctor & takes her time), just a lot of parts that are almost like nails down a chalkboard to me. Its sadly not scary or suspenseful in the least bit, and while I like slow shows/movies.... this one takes the cake. Its slower than a snail.

I'm sure back in 1966 this was a great show, but, stick to the old original Twilight Zones, those had a better story line and was more realistic in terms of acting.
