There's a descendant of the TV series 'Twilight Zone' and if curious check it out. I've watched about 6 of the episodes so far. The production values are much higher than TV, almost movie quality. The acting is great, the writing is great, at least for the best episodes or about half of them because it didn't come out weekly, so there are only 19 episodes. I think that's great, because the grind of turning out a weekly series affects the quality of most shows negatively.
Now for the caveat. It's Twilight Zone in the digital age, it's all some level of science fiction and almost no fantasy or jovial episodes. There is sex and violence (although not gratuitous and vital part of the story).
The episodes are almost universally very dark and involve a lot of strong emotional content. So it's not like 'watching a story' like the old series, but gets you involved. Though I have REALLY enjoyed the imagination and the stories it leaves you with a depressed feeling. Sometimes the problem gets solved, but often it ends in the wake of disaster in people's lives.
I'd like to hear comments about how you feel about the series. Though depressing, I think it's great TV like the ones we used to know.
Here's a teaser. A genius computer encoder creates a game that is the clone of 'Space Fleet', an old comic book that he thinks is visionary. It's an almost exact replica of a way over the top 'Star Trek' where HE is not only the captain, but the controller of the game, and a god of his own universe, where the crew has to play along, or else.
