NOS4A2

Oddball elderly 'vampire' Charlie Manx kidnaps and feeds on children, only to be bothered by young woman Vic McQueen and her strange supernatural gift for finding lost things.

The first episode is intriguing and good at setting the story with a creepy Christmas Land opening. It has interesting supernatural lore and cool terminology, Strong Creatives, Inscapes, etc, and I love the use of the Rolls Royce Wraith and Vic's bike as more than just 'vehicles' in the normal sense.

It reminded me a lot of Stephen King, I found out afterwards it was based on the 2013 novel of the same name by his son Joe Hill.

Season 1 didn't end on a cliff-hanger as such, but I feel there is more story to tell.

The premier just seemed to drag on as I waited for something, anything, worth watching to happen. I'm not sure which is worse, another angsty teen as a TV lead, or Quinto's "old man" character. I'll probably give it another shot and see where it goes from there.

The only part I truly enjoyed was some little Easter eggs on a map with Pennywise Circus, Lovecraft Keyhole, and Tree House of the Mind.

It's an interesting story-line, and Zachary Quinto is doing an excellent job portraying his character, especially when he transitions between the various age ranges that Charlie Manx occupies. But the female lead, Ashleigh Cummings playing Vic McQueen, is completely miscast. She's a 28 year old woman playing a teenager! If that wasn't bad enough, the actress they got to play her mother, Virginia Kull playing Linda McQueen, is 39 years old, and she doesn't look like her mother, but like her sister. Then they gave Vic McQueen an old-fashioned hairstyle, she looks like Adrienne Barbeau straight out of Maude from 1972! The character looks closer to her mother's age, than an 18 year old teenager. It's completely distracting, it's hard to suspend your disbelief, everytime you see the character you can't believe that she's a teenager.

Season 2 was BADDDDDD ! When I reach into my bag of tiles I see cancelation in it's future ☠

I honestly tried, gave it a more than half the episodes but sadly just weren't my thing, I saw the trailer a while back and was interested but something about the show really didn't capture me. Honestly glad to see there are people that enjoy it, and hope it lives up to your expectations. Looking over the reviews it seems one those shows you'll either really get into or just wont. Hope that helps, But on a more technically side I did like the way it was filmed, maybe I might come back maybe not, wait and see.
