Home Before Dark

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

First of all, -great cast/casting all round (even the dad looking like Christopher Eccleston I grew to like) Intriguing crime drama (with a hint of 'thriller'). Was afraid this would be too childish as many of the leads are kids, but this is most def for adults (teens would pass, too as thankfully there were not heaps of on-screen violence & gore & such). Soundtrack was interesting with a mix of famous 70s-80s oldies and more modern stuff like the brilliant 2014 "Dreamers" by Scavenger Hunt (never heard of them before, brilliant pop tune that harkens to the 80s). All-in-all one of the best crime-dramas & excellent cast I've seen in yonks, so hats off to the people behind this. No spoilers, but let's say most people will hope for a 2nd season...

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!

Forget the 10/10. no doubt paid reviews. this is a solid 8/10 great performances all round. keeps going at a lively pace with a bit of humor thrown it. great show to binge watch ( which i did). brooklynn prince is definitely a star in the making.

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.
