The dark and scary reality of what the kids face physically and emotionally against a backdrop of fantasy horror (and sci-fi) is a magical pairing, especially with these young talents! It was also nice to see Nancy from Nightmare on Elmstreet and a cameo by Elliot from ET. The complex emotions they address, the levels of naiveté in love, deception and self-discovery help further enrich this collection of stories within the larger story. A lot of life is unresolved, like some of the storylines here--and that's okay. This is a great series that I hope continues on to at least a season two and maybe more.
