Revisiting The Twilight Zone: S1 E9: Perchance to Dream
In the long run, as well acted, produced and directed as this episode is, it doesn't grab me as a long-term enjoyable watch. It has the look and feel of a Twilight Zoe episode, but it just doesn't have that hook.
Sure, you know there is some thing wrong immediately that we meet Edward Hall. He's worried, he's nervous, he's intense. The fac tthat he believes his imagination is over active and will kill him due to his weak heart should immediately alert the viewer that something is amiss. When it comes to the conclusion (or conclusions, if you will) it's comes as a reasonable alternative, though one that is not completely satisfying. Pretty much like the whole episode.
Rating: Sleep, dream or die. 3.5/5
