    ..ended up watching the newest version of The Twilight Zone from my
    server. Hell of a remake that gives me the WOW with every episode...just
    like the original with Serling.

    PMFJI, ..but I didn't realize there was a TZ remake. Sounds like one to check out.

    Still working on Dispatches from Elswhere.

    BTW.. have you heard of the series Black Mirror?

    It is TZ-like but with a decidedly dark technological bend that I think
    many here might enjoy.

    Each "series" is rather short with 3 - 6 episodes each. I have not seen
    them all, but they started to feel too dark me, so I put Black Mirror on
    the back burner for maybe another time later.

    This one has Jordan Peele as the producer/narrator. It's the 1st series in
    all of them since the 50's which more than adequately captures the spirit (or surpasses it). Watch tons of remakes & this is the 1st one which has done
    this with original writing.

    Still working on Dispatches from Elswhere.

    Have heard about it...but still haven't gotten it. The one I saw which am getting is I believe Stranger Angels about a 40's rocket scientist follower
    of Alistar Crowley.

    Liked it very much...especially how it ended up. Only episode I didn't make
    it through was the one with the 80's computers. Felt too much like a bad version of Groundhog Day.
