Netflixes original content of late I've personally found a little disappointing so was a little dubious about this series and wasn't really planning on watching it anytime soon, but yesterday couldn't find anything to watch so decided to give it a try with my expectations a little low,. After the first 20 minutes I was hooked and done something I rarely do and binged my way through the whole series.

It's not without its flaws, the characters from the government provably the biggest as they all seem very flat and under developed, CGI is a little ropey at times and a few actors on occasion go a little soapy with their acting. But all of this can be forgiven for how genuinely brilliant the show is. It's taken everything what was wonderful about 80's family adventure flicks and rolled it into one.

Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer and all the child actors for me steal the whole show, the soundtrack and score were top notch, but what really impressed me was through all 8 episodes there was no filler scenes every single minute of the show added to the story or character development.

Truly top notch and if it doesn't go on to win awards it would be a travesty.
