Intruders

Overall, I like this show. It creates a sense of mystery and intrigue and has a good cast. On the other hand, I feel it's a little too fond of the mystery, and I'd really like to see answers come at a faster clip.

The main thing that keeps me watching is the creepy little girl (played by Millie Bobby Brown, who went on to greater success with Stranger Things). She is so good, in such a disturbing way, that she *makes* the show in the way Agent Cooper made Twin Peaks.

One of the successful methods with The X-files was Chris Carters' premise of, for every one question answered, 2 more are posed.

I found it intriguing, dark and mysterious. That's really difficult to accomplish now.

I suspect that a chunk of the negative reviews are from persons who want all of the answers up front.

I knew a guy that would finish a book in hours. I asked him how he could possibly do it. He said, "Simple. I just read the first and last paragraph of a book."

This is why we live in Idiocracy.

The same thing that carries most thrillers, mysteries and horrors - it takes the Protagonist TOO LONG to realize what is going on. Why is it so hard to believe what's going on when you jave already witnessed several things of proof?? But other than that, I liked this show and little (at the time) Millie Brown acted her butt off.

Its starts a little slowly and weird. i was worried it was going to go a bit under the dome ridiculous. After the third episode i was hooked. The little girl is quite frankly, frighteningly good! I found myself needing to know what on earth was going on. I liked the ending too, which was satisfying, a little carrot dangle for a possible future series. There were a few loopholes that had my nose wrinkling but i forgave all and moved on. Some of the acting was also a little ropey but i do like john Simms so again, i got over it pretty quickly. A good Friday night whilst having a curry sort of show. I didn't play on the ipad whilst i watched it so it held my attention more than most!

Week after week, I am astounded by the acting skills of Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Madison on Intruders. She plays a person with seemingly multiple personality disorder, and the way she mimics her adult counterpart has me in chills. I would be severely disappointed if she isn't offered an Emmy for her acting on Intruders. She switches from a pretty young girl, to a mean crotchety man in seconds and leaves me wondering how she can embody both of these characters to this extent.

As for the show itself, it's still unfolding and I am drawn to the dark plot like no other. It's gritty and something I would expect from BBC UK, not anything out of the US. Kudos to the creators, writers, actors and directors. This show leaves me wanting only more.

Remember, what goes around, comes around.
