A Sci-Fi Story Classic

One of the many great short stories of the masterful Ray Bradbury is brought to life in this episode. Being a fan of the original stories and seeing the adaptation to television is fascinating. Mars Is Heaven is one of my favorites because he combines the familiar with the unknown in a way that becomes something unique and wondrous. The acting is great in this one and the atmosphere is surreal.
