There is no denying that “The Eye of the Beholder” is the number one must-see episode of The Twilight Zone. It has everything that made the series great – a gripping story with a shocking twist, great acting, fine camera work, and a commentary on being human. “The Eye of the Beholder” is about a woman who is physically disfigured – and she wants nothing more than to have her physical deformities corrected. Slowly, the audience begins to realize that this hospital and world she’s living in is a totalitarian state, where being like everybody else is not only encouraged, but necessary. The ending is jaw dropping and leaves you with an insight into human nature. If you haven’t seen an episode of The Twilight Zone, this is the place to start.
