It probably wasn't as creepy for me, as I was 37 when it first aired. But it has its share of mindbender situations, which I always like. Earl Boen was familiar to me for some time, perhaps from
Battle Beyond the Stars (John-Boy in Space! Spaceship with Boobs! Sybil Danning! TOS' Jeff Corey and Morgan Woodward!), where he was one of the Nestor clones. He has a distinctive face, and a fine voice.
