I'm watching The Twilight Zone. 1959. I'm thru 20 of 120 episodes.
The Twilight Zone will never be beat! I've gotta get back to my binging too, I fell off for a bit.
I don't do much binge watching nowadays, but I've been getting through the first season of Gen V.

This morning I watched an episode called "The Big Tall Wish" first broadcast on April 8, 1960. It would have driven every racist in the U.S. crazy because it had an all black cast. I was only 3 and half months old when the first episode aired and the last episode was broadcast 6 days before my fifth birthday. We only had one tv channel which didn't broadcast it so it became a legend to us kids. We couldn't look up anything about it because there was no place to look it up. There was no internet.
We started seeing the shows in the mid 70's when cable came along. I was in high school and my friends and I were glued to the tv when it was on. For over ten years we knew and talked about it, now we could it watch it. One thing we discovered were how many nobody actors starred and appeared in it. Well nobody at the time. Charles Bronson, William Shatner. Leonard Nimoy, Elizabeth Montgomery and Robert Redford who stars in a great episode. The list goes on.
There is a show that was broadcast from 1959 to 1961 called "One Step Beyond" which was similar and quite god. Every episode is available on YouTube. I think it's worth a look.

I'll have to look up "Gen V" though I'm thinking science fiction. I wrote way too much because I need the practice. My mind skipped a beat sometime in the last week. When I was done writing this I was looking at sea of red for spellcheck. It took me 47 minutes to right and edit this.
@Daltonio another show you might want to check out is Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65) which is more towards crime with wicked twists. The only show I remember is about a man who killed his wife but the police can't find any evidence or a body. At the end of the story it's revealed he's a chicken farmer who grinds his own chicken feed
