	Author	Review
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] scored with dramatic impact infrequently found when the TV camera attempts to focus on the fringes of fantasy, and while short on insight, it was strong on style and solidly suspenseful."	POS
United States	Todd VanDerWerff AV Club	"Probably one of the 10 or 15 most influential television programs of all time (...) Its parables of Cold War America went from clever little horror/sci-fi stories to the sorts of things that seep out into the culture at large."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"We like to look to recent programs like 'The Sopranos' and 'Breaking Bad' when we discuss the modern concept that TV can be art. TV was art over a half-century ago, in a place we like to call 'The Twilight Zone'."	POS
United States	Denver Post	"[It] was so far ahead of its time in capturing the modern era’s ambivalence about progress and technology that the episodes resonate thrillingly 50 years later."	POS
United States	Noel Murray AV Club	"Serling turned small towns, suburban homes, and city streets into staging grounds for the nightmares his audience was already having."	POS
