Woefully miscast as the series' host, Forest Whitaker delivers facile introductions devoid of Serling's literary finesse. More often than not, the writing relies on forgettable characters and thinly-disguised variations on original-series themes; at its worst, the series demonstrates a staggering lack of originality, and the youthful casting frequently results in one-dimensional performances, with a few notable exceptions. It's hit-or-miss at best, but shooting locations in Vancouver, British Columbia, lend the series a visually stimulating variety of settings and atmosphere; production values are consistently high (as they were in the Canadian seasons of X-Files), and Rick Maguire deserves praise for his cinematography on virtually every episode. If you can forget Serling altogether (a difficult challenge for his devoted fans), you'll be able to overlook the flaws and enjoy some occasionally clever trips into The Twilight Zone as it was meant to be. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of The Twilight Zone - The Complete Series
DVD Presentation Review My only problem with the DVD set is that the episodes are not on the 6 discs in the order in which they originally aired on UPN. Granted, "The Twilight Zone" was an anthology show, with no episode-to-episode continuity. And maybe the episodes are on the discs in production order. But I'd rather have the episodes on the discs in the airdate order.
As usual, the truth is *somewhere* in the middle
Firstly, so far I give this 3.5 stars.

>I'm in my 30's and adore the original. Nothing can touch it, that's a fact. But many here seem to forget the original, which ran for 5 years, had its share of clunkers. Particularly, some of the hour long shows. "By default" many seem to give "any other show" in this vein a D+. And to me that isn't right. Sure, it's easy to jump to your allegiances, but it's far from fair.

>This show like any other has its strengths and weaknesses; I could have lived without the harsh "Korn" theme, I like Forrest Whitaker, and of course adore the music of Mark Snow. The casting seems much better than expected, but then again some of the stories seem like sci-fi-by-the-numbers.

>In the end, if you think you are going to find a better way to spend $15; 6 discs & 43 episodes, you better get a reality check... hell, a movie ticket and popcorn is $15, and you still won't have enough for a soda.
Highly Recommended
As a fan of this series, I would say, that this is a must watch. Not even a single episode of the series can be called average. The stories are good, acting superb and production quality is just excellent. If you haven't watched it, u r surely missing on something good and if you have watched this series then I think it should be in ur collection.
