Very good documentary
10 July 2014
Very good and interesting documentary on Rod Serling. It focuses on his early TV work on Playhouse 90 and most notably The Twilight Zone. There are many clips from the old TV shows and lots of talking heads discussing Serling--his work and personality. What comes across is a very complex man. He was (obviously) a fantastic writer who changed the course of TV but was riddled with self-doubt and insecurities. It also goes on about how he was constantly fighting with TV censors who did their best to tone down his work. It's a fascinating portrait of a pioneer of TV and a nice look at how TV was run in the 1950s. This is a must for Twilight Zone fans especially.
