Second series now airing and it's really quite horrific and intriguing in equal measure. A little gem of a series so far.

Synopsis:


From draws inspiration from many J.J. Abrams series and their mystery box concepts. The series opens, without any sort of explanation, with a town besieged by monsters. Why they exist and how to combat them is slowly shared over the four episodes made available for this review, but never directly.

We see them act and the results are vicious, bloody, and deadly. We begin to learn the rules as newcomers arrive in town and also learn how the other townspeople arrived in a similar manner. It is interesting, in a Twilight Zone kind of way, how people can enter the town but cannot leave (the roads loop back on themselves inexplicably).

There are also rules, in an M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village kind of way, that must be followed lest the monsters will feast on their prey.

I watched the first series, not great, but watchable. I'll see what S2 is like.

Series 2 had started off at a quick pace. There are more types of monster than you've seen so far in season 1.

No, you're not blind - it's available to those with certain apps on their firestick.

Well, this started out so intriguing, but the 2nd season has now completely gone to pot.
The last three episodes have largely just been boring conversations between 2 of the characters - scene after scene.

It's reminding me of that Walking Dead season where they were stuck on the farm....

If it carries on like this I'm out - shame, really.

Season 1 was just about good enough to make me keep an eye out for season 2. These posts confirm I don’t imagine I’ll bother with it.

Just watched the last episode of season 2 and... the big cliff hanger duly arrived, one of them appears to have made it back to real world

So that's where season 3 will have to start from.

It improved, but there were some real clunky episodes around the middle.

There are way too many l o n g conversations between characters - scene after scene.
And despite this, characters have failed to communicate massively important facts to each other.

It's a very frustrating show.
