I am not the greatest lover of sci-fi movies, but what a gem and joy this drama series was to watch. I said to my OH it was excellent, and I could see the interest coming my way when he asked lots of questions about characters and plots as they arise while I watched and he looked on.
I was hooked by the story because it split into lots of interconnected wheelings, and dealings between youngsters and adults alike. The gradual build up of each character as they formed and became the people they are. All with with their quirks and ways of dealing with life issues which where based on reality, fantasy, and our complex modern world coming together
Without the bouts of violence it would have be a great family movie to suit all ages but in this case it is not suitable. it is perfect the way it is produced to the viewing public no airs and graces attached.
The monsters are well created and some of the best looking ones I have seen - the flying bat/birds gave me nightmares.
The Russian aspect was well portrayed and the humour well received considering the different cultures shown.
I am a 64 year sci-fi in a single nerdy way in the making, and proud to say this here. Why not...
