The Twilight Zone
@thenightgallery.bsky.social

October 20, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Mirror" airs. Peter Falk plays a despot who keeps seeing the faces of his assassins in a strange mirror. It's often deemed a misfire. But while it's no classic, I think it teaches a valuable lesson about the destructive nature of power.

Hmmm, difficult to tell which despot they had in mind at the time. Falk’s portrayal of nervous paranoia was spot on.
