Oh dear. I bought this series on Amazon, having been impressed by Millie Bobby Brown's performance in Stranger Things. Apparently Stephen King saw Intruders, was so impressed by her acting chops in the show and suggested she would be excellent for the part of Eleven. He was totally right, by the way. She is amazing in this show but that's the only positive thing about it. Perhaps I'm being a tad harsh and it may well be a bit like Marmite: it divides opinion. It seems you either love it or really don't like it.
Some of the acting is transparent and I want to believe in the characters and be swept up in their story, not think about the acting. The moment that happens, the spell is broken. This happens with the lead character a lot. It might be about his accent. I could forgive that but not so the script. I've watched through to episode 5 and that was enough for me. It just doesn't make any sense.
