The Outer Limits (1963–1965)
2/10
Why is this Really Dull series so highly rated?
5 March 2008
I love both series of 'The Twilight Zone' I enjoyed 'Star Trek' the 60s series & many of the ITC series. But this series to one who has never seen it on TV before (under 40) is a real dull clunker! Very dry sci-fi with no personality. Tedious stories that you find yourself doing something else (reach for a book to read etc) instead of watching as it does not catch the imagination.

I tried the highest IMDb rated episodes too: also really dull & interest was never found in any of them. The first episode is so ordinary in style & pace & so lacking in anything to inspire the viewer, even with what could have been a good story if used in other shows.

The very annoying & patronising start 'We are taking over your TV' appears to mindlessly brainwash viewers into thinking this junk is worthy. It amazingly gets compared to the brilliant 'The Twilight Zone' too by many, who obviously can't see the boring directing & pacing of this series for what it really is.

No wonder it was very cheap on Amazon! 2/10
