I give Sci Fi and fantasy shows a lot of leeway, but visual effects apart, this has all the qualities of one of those fan made films. And not a good one either.

I can live with unbelievable and predictable scenarios, but we have soap quality acting with characters that have been written by people who clearly don't know much about families, or even people. Maybe they don't get out much.

OK, so it has a 12 rating, but even a family show is watched by people with brains.

If you get handed a property with minor cult status, you don't fumble it as badly as this.
