Complete with so many interesting and curious facts about this popular series, my curiosity was piqued as Ax Ronan perfectly narrated this book with his precise and accomplished skills. Recommended for fans of this hugely popular show. There are odd and eccentric production issues I had never even thought of. I’ve not finished this, but am taking a break and will return for more at a later date.
NOTE: The reps at Audible say you cannot post a review unless the book is finished. Voila, I just did! Still I am having problems posting other reviews.

Great narration and surprises throughout

I didn’t have any preconceived notions going into this one. There are parts that I really enjoyed, specifically the essays that deconstructed the philosophical underpinnings of certain well known episodes. However, some if the discussion in essays veered too far away from The Twilight Zone, in my opinion, and would have best been served in an unrelated book about philosophy.

Some ups, some downs…
