I especially liked the monastery setting of “A Dozen Demons”. It is fascinating to see how many obscure references the show’s name inspired.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-55557747443263355422018-07-25T16:56:54.815-04:002018-07-25T16:56:54.815-04:00I have experienced that same feeling!

I...Great post about an under-appreciated series! I'm only about halfway into the set, and wholeheartedly agree that "The Assassins" was very well done, with the possible exception of a very miscast John Vernon as an Arab. <br /><br />My favorite episode thus far and one not on your list is "The Rebels," a prescient 1965 presentation of campus unrest and wow, what a cast: Candice Bergan, Jon Voight, David Carradine, and Richard Kiley. <br /><br />I also enjoyed "Faces," a suspenseful mystery story that works as a standalone and guest stars Hal Holbrook and a pre-DARK SHADOWS Mitch Ryan. <br /><br />Your post has me wanting to binge watch the rest, but with only 13 episodes this is a series to be savored. <br />Gary R.
