They lied.Abrams was often asked questions about the show because many people thought he was more involved with the shows creation than he was. He dropped out to work on films halfway through the first season.Twilight Zone Influences — The Theme song and the Pilot.For a period of time, it was the highest-rated TV show on IMDB and is still critically recognized for being one of the best TV shows ever.Nominated for many awards throughout its run, having won a total of 12 awards during that time. Plot synopsis and our favorite episodes and characters.ConclusionCodyCurrently reading Range by David EpsteinZachWatching High Score before bed
