I think the 2002 version was better.
Of course nothing can touch the original.
shareI wouldn't say it was better than the 80s series, but I think it was great way to introduce a younger generation to the Twilight Zone series.
I was lucky enough to come across the 2002 version when I was about 14 and it instantly grabbed my curiosity and led me to the earlier versions which are brilliant but admittedly took me a while to get used to (I think it was the black and white that through me off). Now I'm hooked on the 59 series!!! And it's fun to compare the elements of each series.
