Krajní meze a Pásmo šera byly průkopníky hororových a sci-fi televizních pořadů, přenášející horor na obrazovku, což bylo do té doby doménou filmů Rogera Cormana a paperbackových románů. Dnes, kdy Star Trek a Akta X dominují televizním žebříčkům, je těžké si představit, jakou revolucí Krajní meze byly ve srovnání s tehdejšími sitcomy a dramaty, jako byl Doktor Kildare nebo Muž z UNCLE. Krajní meze byly odvážnější než současné pořady a přinesly témata, která byla v té době tabu. Například epizoda „Průzkum uskutečnitelnosti“ z konce šedesátých let obsahovala provokativní prvky, jako je sexuální obsah a narážky na holocaust, a přinesla hlubokou analýzu obětí, přičemž se dotýkala i amerického obchodu. V devadesátých letech pokračoval seriál v tomto trendu, vyzýval diváky k zamyšlení a posouval hranice. V listopadu 1996 získal podruhé cenu CableACE Award.
