The Midwich Cuckoos

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.

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.

I really don't understand why this is being slated as woke rubbish. Why because it has a multiracial cast. Have these people never walked down their own high street.

John Wyndhams classic novel for the 21st century - brilliant

There seems to be a lot of negativity towards this program mainly because it has not remained faithful to the original book or The 1960s film - which I don't think is a bad thing.

The world has changed a lot since 1957 when the book was written. The internet, television, computers ect. Even abortion which would not have been easily available in the 50s. It's by no means perfect , some dodgy acting, seven episodes was enough.

The children are all excellent and really shine and make this series an enjoyable watch. Don't be put off by the doubters and judge for yourself.
