Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
I'm finally plugging my way through season 4 (this is where the iconic title sequence seems to have started), but the shift from 20 minute episodes to 40 is a little... different.

Like, sure, some of the earlier episodes felt a little rushed, but it almost feels like 40 minutes is too long for the mystery. As in, you figure out what's going on quite quickly and as a result there's less of a "twist". Admittedly i'm only 5 episodes in and that might change.

The thing that i love about marathoning the whole series is that i can see where a lot of modern sci-fi shows clearly got their origins/inspiration.

Hell the latest episode i saw (Mute) was about a mute girl with telepathy involved in a house that inexplicably caught fire and ended up in a school where she basically was not happy.

Granted the story went in a very different direction, but i can't help but feel King watched this, took the basic elements and reworked them to make Carrie.
