5.0 out of 5 stars More excitement and wonder!, 2 Oct 2005
By B. KIRKHAM "kirkham_ben" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With its second season, The Twilight Zone began to expand and experiment more. Indeed, it was now a certified hit, but measures were taken in the second season to cut costs down, thus resulting in 6 videotaped episodes and a cutback from 36 episodes to 29.

Nevertheless, Season 2 is excellent and on a par with the first season. But more episodes are memorable from this season than any other, first and foremost 'The Eye of the Beholder,' one of the very best pieces of television ever produced. It is beautifully written, stunningly acted and ingeniously directed. The boxset is worth it for this alone.

But there are other wonderful episodes, such as the tight and tense 'Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room', the ever-absorbing 'Nick of Time', the wonderfully OTT 'The Howling Man', and the almost sizzling intensity of 'Shadow Play'.

The videotaped episodes are very impressive, with 'The Lateness of the Hour', 'Twenty-Two', and 'Night of the Meek' being particularly good.

And we mustn't forget the excellent fun of 'Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?' and the powerful 'The Obsolete Man', the latter featuring a superb performance from Burgess Meredith.

Although shorter than the first season, this is truly gripping stuff, and maintains the high calibre of Season One. After this, the show would begin to go downhill slightly, but for now, it was riding the crest of the wave.

Essential viewing.

4.0 out of 5 stars it keeps getting better and better, 13 April 2006
After viewing all season 1 episodes, I was left wanting to find out what season 2 had in store. Just as I thought, it does keep getting better and better!

Although cut down to 29 episodes (6 of which are videotaped), the quality standards of the series are improving throughout, and Rod Serling is starting to make his legendary appearances.

My favourites are: "The Howling Man" (science fiction at its very best), "The Night of the Meek" (capturing the magic of Christmas beautifully), "A Penny for your Thoughts" (revealing Dick York, later becoming the star of "Bewitched"), "The Obsolete Man" (marvelously acted by the versatile Burgess Meredith), and undeniably one of the best episodes: "Will the Real Martian please stand up?"

Just like in the first series box set, the navigation style isn't the most practical to browse through the episodes, but this collection is nonetheless sublime, and very much enjoyable.

Season 3 continues in this direction. You won't regret buying this fantastic collection, whether you are a fan of the TZ or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Homage to Rod Serling, 22 Dec 2006
By A. Hennie "Andrew" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rod Serling was a genius and Season Two of the Twilight Zone will not dissapoint. This season has two of my personal favourites here; The Private World of Darkness and The Invaders. These episodes are thoroughly entertaining and are worth the purchase price.

early days. So nobody will be surprised that
I can't be uncommitted...

3.0 out of 5 stars "It is the middle ground between light and shadow"... and between almost good and very bad
The revival of Rod Serling's legendary "Twilight Zone" was always a foolhardy, some may say foolish, project. Read more
