Winona Ryder, Matthew Modine, Cary Elwes & Robert Englund star in this confusing & over complicated tv show that tells the story of a group of residents from an American town who go searching for a missing little boy & in doing so they start to uncover strange government secrets, secret experiments & even stranger alien/demonic entities who seem hell bent on world domination/control as the group of residents, lead by a little girl (who's left nostril always seems to be bleeding anytime she does anything) with powerful psychic abilities, try to stop them. I thought I'd give this a go with all the hype around it & with it only being 4 seasons of 8-9 episodes per season but I wish I hadn't bothered as it was so far fetched & overly complicated that I just found it annoyingly hard to follow & I soon lost interest in it, especially as season 4's episodes are all the length of short films with the final episode being 2 hours & 21 minutes long! Saying that though, seasons 3 & 4 are the best of the 4 with a couple of slightly interesting storylines & much cooler enemies compared to the first 2 seasons in which the aliens are just slug like entities with no intelligence whatsoever which seemed very uninventitive & lacked creativity but then again as the show seems to be heavily influenced by dungeons & dragons which I've never been into them maybe that's how they were supposed to be? Either way, I wasn't impressed & I won't be watching the final season when it comes out & I would highly recommend anyone thinking of watching this not to bother!
