Review of Beyond

Beyond (I) (2016–2018)
9/10
A brave, nicely paced bit of story telling!
13 March 2018
What a surprise. I avoided it for several weeks on Netflix, expecting more light acting, over use of special effects and a dull story. I am (we are, my wife now has joined me!) totally gripped. Watched all of season 1 and the 8 available episodes of season 2. I can't believe how very brave the writers have been. They don't throw lots of action into each episode. Instead, they carefully and patiently build the characters and manage to o give too much away too early on. The occasional use of humour is also fresh, with a few nice little unexpectedly ordinary jokes. Overall, it's worth taking the time to let the characters grow on you. Even the obnoxious 'yellow jacket' has unexpected depth. Looking froward to the rest of season two and, I hope, a third season (and maybe more?). I just hope they don't mess up the formula. It's working well, please don't mess with it!
