El pueblo de los malditos

The original film was 77 mins. This has been stretched out to five and a half hours. Keeps you interested even though you'll probably know the story. Kids are creepy and great, and who cares about the casting being reflected to show diversity, doesn't make it any less watchable. Far better than the Christopher Reeve version, stay with it and remember it's 2022 not 1957 when the book was written.

The Midwich Cuckoos

As a fervent Sci-Fi fan, I've waited for such a remake for over thirty years. It was great seeing the old town again in a new light, and it was equally great seeing the Easter Egg of the original clock tower from the original movie.

It is interesting to think that Walt Disney was involved in such cutting-edge topics back when the subject matter was taboo.

I wrote a blog on the original work many years ago, centering on where the story's original subject matter originated. It seems UFO abductions were then relegated to skeletons in family closets, privy only to close friends, family, and family physicians. Let's hope this series gives the original work its due Justice. So far, it seems to be off to a smashing start. The only thing missing, of course, is George Sanders' charming voice. Thanks.

This series gives off a disjointed feeling as if someone heard a really great story and then tried to retell it from memory but messed up on the delivery.

The premise and world building is amazing. One can see that the original version of whatever this was based on must have been very thought out. However, the execution and dialogue is bad at times, and people don't act in logical ways.

They even get UK laws wrong and the police and military procedures seem to be using '80s Hollywood-movie police standards, which really takes you out of the story.

IF i was only to go on SOME of the reviews here i MIGHT have skipped this one, but the whole hating on the diversity even made me WANNA LOOK MORE so thanks for that, to all the raysist haters.. It is NOT as bad as i read on here, i guess some people just can't help themselves being negatives and all...

Watched it all, and the child actors in it are very good, and the diversity stands for how the world is now, so the makers did a very good job with that!!

Happy i tried it out,... it was a very nice series to watch them creepy kids are very good, not sure if there could be a second season, but the low scores are not telling for how this serie turned out to be!!

I found this series riveting. The children were excellent actors and the adults too especially Keeley Hawes and Max Beesley. Well worth a binge viewing.
