That's what this show is totally about and keeps you guessing until the answers are found at the end. I got reacquainted with this ancient series again after ordering a collection of episodes online and once more, it's grand entertainment.
I devoured these old shows as a kid whenever they came on TV back in the 1980s and 90s and still do so to this day. It had been years since I saw a lot of them and forgot the details, but after viewing the DVD today, my mind got refreshed. They turned out to be just as good as I recalled them to be.
I admit that the stars of back then were much better actors than the ones of today. There was much more of a sincerity and believability in their performances, unlike the spoiled and politically correct group you get on TV nowadays.
This show only worked in a different era though. The excellent content it carried back then couldn't ever be captured now, not in this day and age of information technology and cell phones.
The characters here end up experiencing a strong feeling of "alienation" and uncertainty as they venture into the unknown vortex of The Twilight Zone. You just don't know what'll happen next and are just as curious as the actors who are caught within it.
There are always surprising twists to the ending of each episode and they're always well done. The one called "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" is riveting, but could never be recaptured in a remake today. It's about the neighbors on a city street falling into paranoia and accusations after mysterious lights gleam over the area, causing a major power outage to hit all electronic devices.
I enjoyed these shows as a kid and still do so to this day via the DVD collection I got. It's timeless and, oh man it still delivers.
