This is unpalatable for adults and kids alike. Production quality, editing, cinematography, acting... it's just all bad. What's worse is a black actor being referred to as a "sidekick". That's utterly heartbreaking in this day and age. Make it stop. No one vetted this, and it needs to end up in the waste bin of history.
... View MoreThis was so boring my kids started playing with other screens while it was running. The characters are absolutely predictable, borrowed from other shows...which wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so obvious. Special effects were laughable. Honestly, why bother? This show talks down to kids. This is 2017, not 1970. The acting was very poor. Sorry but this isn't going to command repeat viewing. It will come out of the gate slow and then die quickly.
... View MoreMy family had to turn this off. It was truly painful to watch. They tried to steal from stories like ET and The X-Files, and they simply weren't successful. The kids are obviously child over-actors, and not good ones at that. The girl who plays Piper is stiff, and the character of Ira and the actor that plays him are beyond obnoxious. If this is what a "kids' show" looks like, my kids would rather never turn the TV on again.
... View MoreI thought this show was very well done. A lot of fun, and interesting premise. The kids were believable ... not too over-the-top smart or snarky, and very believable in their roles. Good family feel, nice portrayal of the sheriff/dad (not gonna lie, huge Richard Speight Jr fan here as well! And he was terrific in this role). Primary emphasis was on the children in this show, but the adults were believable and never portrayed as "clueless" or simply there to laugh at (a personal pet peeve of mine in a lot of kid shows). I do tend to be one of those "picky parents" about what my kids can watch. There was nothing in this show that I took issue with. I would recommend it to any parent. And as stated, it was still fun and interesting. My 12 year old son really enjoyed it. Both of us hope to see much much more of this series! All in all, very well done. So please pick it up!
