Secrets of Sulphur Springs

So I was sat at home, bored. My kid was off doing whatever it is kids do when they're in their rooms. I was lazily flicking through Disney+ and spotted this show. I thought, "That'll do for the afternoon."

So there I was, a 42 year old flabby man watching a mystery show for kids... And it hooked me. The first coup of episodes drew me and I really wanted to know what happened to the missing girl and what the adults knew.

The kids in this show are all fantastic, they play their roles incredibly well. The core mystery is interesting and it turns and twists well through the whole show. It's paced incredibly well, with each episode only being around 20 minutes once intro and recaps etc are done.

All in all a fantastic show that keeps the intrigue up, the pace held and turns interesting and surprising.

Well worth a watch for adults... And kids too.

It's very familiar to the Dark's plot but way more relaxed vibe though, less stressful and actually interesting.

I can't wait for season 2. Very well done. Good actors. Fun story but also tense and sometimes scary. It's actually quite an original storyline. It sucked me in and I couldn't stop watching. Such a cliffhanger at the end.

My kids made me watch this, so I wasn't expecting much from a Disney channel pilot. But we all are really excited for the next episode. From the storyline, to the acting, this show so far is better than anything they've ever put out. We were all on the edge of our seats waiting for what would happen next.

I have a younger teen daughter and when she was a child we enjoyed watching Disney shows like "Good Luck Charlie", "Shake It Up", and "Wizards of Waverly Place". I always loved watching Disney with her because it brought back the nostalgia of my childhood watching The Famous Jett Jackson, Fastforward, and Even Stevens. However, we both agree that they don't make them like that anymore. Until Secrets of Sulpher Springs. It reminds me of those "quality" Disney shows we remember from back in the day where the story was family oriented but engaging across the age span. This show was creepy and mysterious enough to keep you interested, but not so scary to deter younger children. Even my 38 year-old husband got into the series and got annoyed when we watched an episode without him and Insisted we rewind it. The plot and acting were fairly good for a Disney show. Not likely to win any awards or make it to the big screen, but it's good for what it is. Surprisingly, the children's acting is far superior to the adults' acting. Hopefully there is a season 2 coming soon.
