Who remembers that great series The Twilight Zone from 1960's created by Rod Sterling. It was a science-fiction and fantasy series which was on TV between 1959-1964. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked this series no.7 for 100 best TV series all time.
The original series from 1959-1964 had 5 seasons, then there was the revival series from 1985-1989 with 3 seasons, and finally the second revival series from 2002-2003 with 43 episodes. I have seen all episodes from all series and I think this is one of the best series ever made. It's not about special effects and nice backgrounds like we see nowadays but it's all about the story.
Unfortunately it is not on Netflix but you can find the complete series on YouTube.
Here is a nice episode from the original series, posted on YouTube by Brian Jett, called Time Enough At Last about a guy that loves reading but can't find the time for it, until something happens.
