Featured review
I can see what the writers where attempting to do but it fails to work because the UK is nothing like America, where a town can be isolated, hours away from a major town or city. The way they speak about Manchester as if it's a far off, all shapes and lights metropolis they can only dream of doesn't work because they could get a bus to Manchester in an hour from this fictional Lancs village (filmed in Todmorden so I'm estimating the distance from that).
Transplanting this Twin Peaks/Stranger Things atmosphere to Lancashire just doesn't work and it makes it silly. The 70s/80s aesthetic with the cars, decor and fashion combined with modern mobile phones is jarring, plus the scene of an old school point and click adventure played on a modern computer just feels like a jumbled mess.
The characters and community aren't believable, the plot moves at a snails pace without enough hook to keep the audience engaged and it feels as if the writers have never been North of the Watford Gap.
I watched it all purely to see what would become of it. I found nothing at the end and I can't see it being picked up for another series.
