I'd say Black Mirror has been the first good modern successor to it.Someone explain to me why we don't have a big budget modern amazing version of The Twilight Zone currently airing? They could even get some high profile directors/writers to make an episode or two.

Not sure if serious. I have yet to watch AHS, but arent they season long arcs instead of self contained episodes?They do, it is called American Horror Story.
A World of His Own is damn good. I particularly love the ending with Serling.subbing for binge watching purposes
Not sure about underrated by my personal favs are "To Serve Man", "The After Hours", "People Are Alike All Over" & "A World of His Own"

One for the Angels
Black Mirror is the closest we'll get. The best anthology since TZ.
I wouldn't be surprised to see CBS attempt another revival following the success that Black Mirror has seen. They would probably tie it to CBS All Access though.
They already tried it once in the 90s.
But I'm surprised they haven't gave it another go. Or Amazon buying out the rights to create their own take on it. It's a huge IP and still very influential.
I hate to bring politics into this discussion but I thought about this episode after the events of Charlottesville. Why? Because the next week we had the U.S. total eclipse across the entire length of the United States.I Am The Night, Color Me Black
Came in here to say this. It's a legit sweet story.
Damn, I didn't even know there was a 2000 series.
It also sounds like I need to watch Black Mirror. I saw one episode years back and it was pretty great, it was the one with the guy from Get Out.
Love this episode and almost every time I talk to someone about the twilight zone it turns out they've never seen the episode.I really like "the hunt", where an old man and his dog go to the afterlife. Not sure how it's generally considered though.
I love Mr. Denton on Doomsday. A story of redemption, definitely a feel good Twilight Zone. Great theme music, too. As a big fan of Westerns, it just hits the spot. Martin Landau makes for a fine heel, too.I enjoy the Twilight Zone episodes with feel good endings, like the one where the guy dies trying to save his dog and he and his dog go to the afterlife and the guy's like "you can come in but you can't bring your dog"so he decides not to go in and then comes across another guy who says that the first place was actually Hell and of course you can bring your dog into Heaven and lets him in.
Came here for this one.The Howling Man doesn't get enough love.

I'd say they're rhe same in terms of quality. The big difference is BM is much more of a "realistic" take on modern and future scenarios regarding technology and its advancements.Black Mirror?
That said Twilight Zone is still better then BM.
First episode I ever saw."Five Characters in Search of an Exit." Really loved this episode. It was all character driven and the actors really nailed their parts, especially the clown character.
A Hundred Yards Over the Rim and The Rip Van Winkle Caper are two of my favorites.
That episode is so goodI haven't watched enough yet to know what's under rated or overated. I ended up buying the box set a couple months back though have watched maybe 10 episodes so far ?
I feel like maybe "Escape Clause" is one that some might gloss over ? I don't know though. I've looked at an episode list just now and I have actually sat through 13 of them. I've enjoyed all of them to varying degrees.
A Passage for Trumpet is probably my favorite single episode that is overlooked and never talked about by most people. It's not a super remarkable episode but I still really liked it.
