Critics

Audience

When a young boy disappears, friends and family search for answers as a small town confronts secret experiments, frightening supernatural forces, and a mysterious girl with unusual abilities. Their investigation draws them into a dangerous mystery that tests their courage, loyalty, and understanding of what is happening around them.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want nostalgic 1980s science fiction, heartfelt friendships, suspense, and supernatural horror; Not for you if you prefer consistently realistic stories or tightly focused pacing like Fringe.
