i don't think i've ever seen an episode of the original series. have you watched it before, hownos?

i've heard it's supposed to be great - like a more horror oriented twilight zone...

I have never seen it before. I watched the first episode last nite and I am eager to see more.

i've bookmarked the dailymotion site. once i'm done with ash vs the evil dead, i will probably give it a look. thanks for the heads-up.

It's a terrific series, just as good as The Twilight Zone, but not an attempt at copying it. It's very much its own series, with its own tone & approach. It often explores the darker corners of the human psyche, its fears & its terrors. But it's much more a science-fiction series merged with horror, rather than the fantasy merged with science-fiction of The Twilight Zone. The first season especially looks great, just steeped in utterly black shadows & German Expressionism. The truncated second season looks more like a typical TV drama series, but it still has some fantastic stories.

I'll be curious to see what you make of stories like The Man Who Was Never Born, The Architects of Fear, O.B.I.T. (this one is frighteningly timely), The Invisibles, Nightmare, The Forms of Things Unknown, Demon With a Glass Hand, The Inheritors ... to list just a few of my personal favorites. The best episodes really bring the paranoia & dread! Yet there's a great deal of compassion & humanity to be found there as well.

a very good series. i am watching it for the first time.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.

And I envy you the experience of seeing the series for the first time. I can still watch most of those episodes after having seen them dozens of times over the decades, and still find them as gripping & thought-provoking as ever.
