A number of similarities to Stranger Things, the kids, the cop etc. (Even some of the actors are reminiscent of those from Stranger Things). The show itself works well enough, and is fairly intriguing as the mystery unfolds. Where this show fails is its inability to be taken fully seriously. While Stranger Things spent a lot of time focusing on the kids, it was still able to hold your attention without venturing into the territory of feeling childish. This show leans into the children too much and the stakes of the story can be undercut by the children and their scheme to make school finish early. Better than I had expected, but hardly a masterpiece.
