Eye of the Beholder
The sixth episode in Season 2, titled ‘Eye of the Beholder,’ showcases the groundbreaking elements that made ‘The Twilight Zone’ iconic. This story employs thought-provoking science fiction to delve into timeless themes such as conformity, beauty, and self-identity. These topics resonate just as deeply today as they did in 1960. What sets this episode apart is the fact that its visuals and emotional depth have endured remarkably well over time. While many episodes from ‘The Twilight Zone’ are still admired, ‘Eye of the Beholder’ stands alone as the highest-rated episode ever aired, and it truly deserves this recognition.
