On a conceptual level this series doesn't sound like anything special. It's basically like Poltergeist or It where some sort of mysterious force caused a kid to go missing and now the other characters have to go through scary situations to figure out what happened. 44-minute Episodes are also a little long for me. However now that the negatives are out of the way let's talk about what makes the series good. The biggest strength of the series is easily with the atmosphere. It can get really intense and perfectly captures that scary feeling, or even with how the background music connects to what is happening in the story. There is also the fact that it's set in the 1980s, so all the sets are built to give off that kind of vibe. So overall the settings are great, but what about the mystery itself? While it has been played out before (at least on a conceptual level), how the story is built is that each episode would uncover a little more about the possible forces that caused the boy to go missing. The characters are also pretty good with the most standout for me being the kid with telekinetic powers who doesn't talk until a few episodes in, 011. The series also shows how the mystery would affect the characters and all the weird things that would happen (the most notable for me would be when the 3 yr old is walking through the hallway and the lights turn on and off.) The mom gives off a vibe where she's comparable to Kevin's mom from the Home Alone movies where she's determined to find her son and make sure he's all right, even if it means fighting with people you probably shouldn't fight with. This story in general could also be semi-relatable to some parents (minus all the supernatural elements.) As parents you never want something like this to happen to your kids and you fear what would happen to them if it did. As of this original review, I have only watched the first season. As I watch more of it I will keep you and the review updated.
