YMMV / The Twilight Zone (1959) S1E6: "Escape Clause"

• Hilarious in Hindsight: This would not be the last time an episode was about an immortal man named Walter.
• Magnificent Bastard: The Devil, appearing as an affable, portly man named Cadwallader, is a trickster who appears to hypochondriac Walter Bedeker offering him immortality in exchange for his soul. Cadwallader plays to Bedeker's ego to get him to accept the deal, also explaining that there is an "escape clause" that will have him kill Bedeker if he requests. Bedeker quickly uses his newfound immortality to throw himself into dangerous situations for a thrill, eventually trying to get himself executed in the electric chair. However Bedeker is instead sentenced to life imprisonment and is crestfallen, calling Cadwallader to enact the escape clause which he does, with the Devil getting everything he wanted without ever telling a lie.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: It would have been interesting to see Bedeker live through centuries or even millenia before growing bored, cynical, etc. rather than his attempts to kill himself or get executed in the electric chair. It may be more realistic to see things get out of hand quickly.
