fun, intriguing mystery
Home Before Dark is about a 9-year-old girl reporter with the tenacity of a bulldog and the observational skills of Sherlock Holmes. Is this realistic? I'm gonna say no. Is it fun? Absolutely.
The mystery is excellent, the cast is swell, I love the trio of kid investigators and the mystery keeps you guessing. I'm most of the way through season 1 and as of now I'm a big fan.
Recommended.

Cheesy but fascinating
This show is made more interesting by the fact that it is based on a real nine-year-old girl who just happens to also be an ace reporter.
It was reasonably binge-worthy because I kept wanting answers to the clues she kept uncovering.
However, I do have to say that the wigs and prosthetics, the total lack of connection or spark between the parents, the irresponsibility of letting a kid go out day or night, her precociousness at school (would a principal just let her out of school all the time?) and the number of times Hilde's father kissed his kids' hair were annoying. Plus what police force would have pass information onto a child and what parent would let their child constantly put their lives at risk?
See what you think?
Well made but slow
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.

binge if you can
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
