Home Before Dark

Home Before Dark is about a 9-year-old girl reporter with the tenacity of a bulldog and the observational skills of Sherlock Holmes. Is this realistic? I'm gonna say no. Is it fun? Absolutely.

The mystery is excellent, the cast is swell, I love the trio of kid investigators and the mystery keeps you guessing. I'm most of the way through season 1 and as of now I'm a big fan.

Recommended.

I didn't think much of it at first, but as I watched more and more episodes, I got hooked. The script just got better and better. Just awesome acting. I can't wait for the next season

Loved this and cant wait until next season very well scripted and acted better than I thought

I am a 39 year old male, who watches TV series all day long every day, year in and year out, and I am telling you that this series is some of the best I ever seen!

It is so very charming, heartwarming, and yet not just for "family" (aka kids) but for adults as well.

While it starts off a little pretentious in the first few minutes, it soon starts to be incredibly good! So please, don't turn it off! (I was about too, actually. Very glad I didn't.)

It is a very even series, that never has any deep valleys of boredom that most TV series eventually suffer from.

The script is tight as hell, and the story keeps you on your toes throughout. There are many twists and turns which I love.

I also love the 80s flashbacks and they have really captured that era well.

The acting by everyone is great, especially for the main character Hilde Lisko, played extremely well by only 9 year old Brooklynn Prince.

The pace, the editing, and execution of this movie is also just great.

I would recommend this to everyone of all ages! I am surprised this "only" has 7.3 of a rating as of writing this review. What is wrong with you people?! This is a SOLID 10/10 from me, and I very rarely give such high reviews to anything!

Please, for your own sake, watch this! In a world with endless series to watch, this stands out of the crowd like a shining star!

I really enjoyed season one, thought the writing was pretty sharp and the acting was pretty spot on. Season two I'm less enthusiastic, Hilde has become insufferable and downright rude, and the parenting skills seem to have really deteriorated. I hate to admit it but Jim Sturgis is overly emotional which really isn't always appropriate. The story is topical but not particularly compelling as in season one. Hoping for a connection back to season one.
