Silverpoint

Really enjoyed this one. We watched it together with the children and all enjoyed the story and amazing acting of the cast, especially the kids.

My children were hooked right from the start and this will really suit children from 5-15.

Cant wait for season 2!

If you are waiting for a stranger things season 4 to come out this is a really good in-between. I can see it getting better with time and this is made for tweens in mind so yes the writing is not par to ST but it is light enough and suspenseful enough to hold your attention as you wait. I can't wait for the next season.

I thought this series was made for kids, but I am 35 and still liked it a lot. Got hooked from the first episode. Made me curious about what will happen. A love a good sci-fi mystery. Too bad the episodes are short, waiting for more..

This is being streamed on BBC iPlayer. Do not miss this! It is an utterly brilliant piece of writing, scripting, acting and direction. Made for kids, (with elements of young love, growing up, not fitting in) it also appeals to adults. It's quite dark, and scary with a couple of jump scares in the woods. Four lonely children with various problems find themselves at summer camp, where they are thrown together and form a tentative bond. One day they find themselves outside the boundary of the camp, and ignoring danger signs, carry on walking deep into the woods where they encounter something very strange and mysterious. The woods are known to be the place where previous children vanished into thin air. What is the secret of Silverpoint?

Bearing in mind the audience age group that CBBC shows are aimed at, I have to say Silverpoint exceeded our expectations, our whole family was riveted to season 1....twice through! Thank you iplayer!

As a lifelong scifi fan, from an adult point of view I enjoyed this immensely on several levels, storytelling, cast performances, production values, full of suspense, contrasting light and dark moments, intrigue, mystery, twists and turns and left me aching for season 2!

Our 6 and 10 year olds, (both fans of a certain time traveller in a blue box) became so invested in the story we had to drag them away from the tv and limit them to 3 episodes at a time!

We've not enjoyed watching a show so much together as a family in a long time! More please, we gotta know what happens next!

The highest star rating I seem to be able to select is 8 for some reason. Take that as 100% !!!
