I am not a huge fan of science fiction, but I like this show. I am especially happy to see Winona Rider acting again. Fun, interesting, and a plot that keeps it's twists and turns going. The makers seem to have gone out of their way to find people who don't look like Hollywood. The kids are pretty good actors, too. Due to a few somewhat scary scenes, and kids using guns,I'd not recommend this for children under 10 or 11. I'm giving it a five for one reason and one reason only. The sound is so out of control I'm entirely annoyed by it. The sound on my remote goes from 1 to 100. At times, to hear the dialog, I have had to push it up to 96. Then when the music comes on, I find myself pushing it down to 75 or just turning on the mute button. Aggravating to say the least and really takes away from my enjoyment of the show. If it weren't for this, I'd being give it an 8.
