I was skeptical at the beginning, especially with the use of the little girl. I've never been one to like movies, television, etc. that depict children doing adult things, speaking like adults, and behaving like adults. That said, after understanding the concept,I struggled to push the child aside and attack the material at hand. By the second episode, I was in! Smartly written and beautifully acted, Intruders did not disappoint. Each episode left sufficient cliffhangers to find myself lucky that we had recorded the entire series. My spouse and I binged-watched the series. Oooohhhhhh my my my, it was perfect that way. I can't imagine waiting a week to find out what happened next. My spouse and I devoted a Saturday to watching and we are left wanting more. I understand that BBC may not pick up Intruders for a second season. I'm pretty shocked at the thought. I feel as though I need to know what Jack, et . al are going to do next. What his triggers are, and who his host would be. I read the book and found it true to the series. In our options for television viewing, I'm constantly surprised when programs like, Honey Boo-boo can gain a following, but a well thought out, well acted program like this stands on shaky ground. A little less, American Horror Stories, a little more Intruders!

very disappointed with this, in fact after about 5 episodes i gave up, but then finished watching the series merely because i felt i had to, otherwise i would have wasted 5 hours of my life! The plot line was complicated in a not fun way and also full of holes, the acting was generally poor, (especially John Simms terrible American accent, and everything he said with it), the direction was shabby, the tension was non-existent after you found out what was supposed to be happening, Jihn Simms characters "journey" was not very convincing, and it was basically just poor all around. Plenty of genuinely intelligent and original sci-fi and horror without having to resort to this cod-mysticism.Don't bother

I sort of stumbled upon this series while checking the BBC iPlayer. Watched the four available episodes in one afternoon, as I found it fascinating, original and very intriguing. Downloaded the remaining four episodes as I simply could not wait a week to see episode 5. Needless to say, watched all four the next day.Refreshingly good series, a total surprise to me as I never heard or read anything about it.The atmosphere and the overall feeling is to some extent similar to the phenomenal "Orphan Black". A bit spooky, chilling, keeping you on the edge of your seat. I may be a bit biased here as that was another series that I knew nothing about beforehand and found excellent.Anyway, I can definitively recommend "Intruders" to everyone who wishes to see something really good instead of the usual diet of bland interchangeable stuff.

I watched the first episode and thought that the show is slow, but I decided to watch the second episode, and I'm so glad I did, the story is getting better and better and I love the little girl, she is a great actress, she plays the characters (yes, she changes from a 9 year old to an old man in seconds), and she delivers, oh my, she does... she scares me...the show is really great....and I can't wait to see the story behind Shepperd....I do hope they continue with it..I will keep watching and using my brains to try to find out what or who the people are...all the actors are really good, excellent performance and writing..but again just the little girl would keep me watching it forever, she deserves an Oscar (oh well an Emmy)....
