Featured review
Poignant and Candid for its Time
Produced in the midst of the political assassinations of the 1960s, this episode of the beloved Twilight Zone series is a standout. When it was filmed and aired, this type of direct political talk about race relations in the US was not the norm for television. It was a brave endeavor and helped make a space for these types of topics to be regularly addressed on prime time television. While the themes and storyline may be obvious in some ways to a contemporary viewer, the subject of this episode is still relevant, and the moral rings true.
