If the influences from 80's movies and the actors being children is the most important things you can praise this series for, it proves that its not that good. Story-wise it looks like one good Fringe episode stretched over a whole season and you guess it so early it loses its magic. Yes it is well set up, children are great and 80's thing might pick up your fancy but all these just didn't work for me to forgive the weak plot. Referencing 80's, synth music and all seems like an easy way out these days.
