With season one completely viewed, I did some investigation to find out that this wasn't based on a children's book and was genuinely shocked.
It's actually based upon a book aimed at adults...
If you like From, but find it too cerebral, this might be for you, but frankly it's terrible and full of very well-worn cliches, couple that with a zero-charisma cast and it's just pointless. Chaske Spencer - who I recognised from a bit-part in Banshee is the pinnacle of charisma here. It just feels like Peacock's a step-up from Hallmark, where aging actors…

It's Science Fiction that's aware of the word "science" but not really sure what it means.
The script and dialogue are terrible, particularly bad when coming out of Speedman or Strahovski. The teen daughter's alright, I just want the young boy to die - bloodily and grandma is on screen and that's as remarkable as it gets.
The episodes are about half an hour long and feel a lot longer in a bad way, there's tedium surrounding whoever Speedman plays having an affair with non-descript character and that feels included because producers/director are aware of how little there is to work with in the script/from the book?
Waste of time and electricity.
What a rare gem I discovered with this show. This TV show is absolutely masterpiece. This is a show where not only every episode, but every moment is super interesting and you don't even want to skip a single dialog. That's how interesting is this TV show. Also has a lot of good actors inside who do their job great! I can't think of any single flaw in this show. Definitely a masterpiece! Can't wait for second season.
