Home Before Dark

Forget the 10/10. no doubt paid reviews. this is a solid 8/10 great performances all round. keeps going at a lively pace with a bit of humor thrown it. great show to binge watch ( which i did). brooklynn prince is definitely a star in the making.

Loved this and cant wait until next season very well scripted and acted better than I thought

After starting watching 1st episode I was thinking - nope, this is a kid show. However, after giving it a bit more time, I continued and watched the whole series. Overall, it's a quality production, there is a lot of social/family issues thrown in and one can benefit from watching it. IMHO, the cons are - her team are all cute and well acted - but also hardly believable and I was getting tired of the concept. Not sure what target audience the creators were aiming at - as it is mainly pre-teen show, but there is quite graphic violence and some bad language, as well as adult-like sex themes in conversations. My main beef - it's chiefly a murder mystery, and after ploughing through 10 episodes I was hoping for reveal-all finale, well - you need to wait for 2nd season to get all answers. There is too many shows about where viewers are being enticed into tuning to next season by leaving story wide open. And - quite often answers never come - when a show gets a chop...

I am a 39 year old male, who watches TV series all day long every day, year in and year out, and I am telling you that this series is some of the best I ever seen!

It is so very charming, heartwarming, and yet not just for "family" (aka kids) but for adults as well.

While it starts off a little pretentious in the first few minutes, it soon starts to be incredibly good! So please, don't turn it off! (I was about too, actually. Very glad I didn't.)

It is a very even series, that never has any deep valleys of boredom that most TV series eventually suffer from.

The script is tight as hell, and the story keeps you on your toes throughout. There are many twists and turns which I love.

I also love the 80s flashbacks and they have really captured that era well.

The acting by everyone is great, especially for the main character Hilde Lisko, played extremely well by only 9 year old Brooklynn Prince.

The pace, the editing, and execution of this movie is also just great.

I would recommend this to everyone of all ages! I am surprised this "only" has 7.3 of a rating as of writing this review. What is wrong with you people?! This is a SOLID 10/10 from me, and I very rarely give such high reviews to anything!

Please, for your own sake, watch this! In a world with endless series to watch, this stands out of the crowd like a shining star!

A very well written but slow season 1.

Wonderful acting by each and everyone.

Matt is like TRUTH, hidden but never gone forever. He comes back to the place of his childhood and with a lot of help from his daughter Hilde who probably represents PROOF, makes everyone uncomfortable because truth IS bitter. This series is fresh though it has a repeated setting.

I do love & hate the 'murder in a small town' kind of series. It makes me comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. But I just don't like to ignore such series.

FYI, the story doesn't end with season 1.
