/refers to Season 1/

In general, I am not into supernatural force dramas, particularly when the "monsters" are unaware of their wickedness, but after reading praising views and emanating from limited number (8) of episodes, I decided to give it a try... And became gradually contented.

Well, the beginning was slow and the child characters reminded me the ones in e.g. Stand By Me, but the distinctive performance of Winona Ryder and the hints that "earthly" forces are also "guilty" made me to appreciate several nuances and scenes. Although being definitely the most famous performer, Mrs. Ryder did not steal the show, but was at best excelling herself as a fine team player. Most of the youth were bright-line as well and evidently not picked from model agencies based on "cute" looks.

Besides, the series includes a good cinematography and creation of suitable atmosphere, with the events dating back to the 1980ies, to the days I was young myself, with all that music and outfit...

Despite the pacing was uneven at times, and some scenes were protracted or did not provide additional value to the series, I would like to watch Season 2 when revealed. Some final scenes from Episode 8 excited my interest and let me ponder on and over how the next season could evolve - as many questions found their answer and events did find their closure.

PS In fact, I liked Season 2 a bit more - due to enchanced sci-fi action.
