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.

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.

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

After starting watching 1st episode I was thinking - nope, this is a kid show. However, after giving it a bit more time, I continued and watched the whole series. Overall, it's a quality production, there is a lot of social/family issues thrown in and one can benefit from watching it. IMHO, the cons are - her team are all cute and well acted - but also hardly believable and I was getting tired of the concept. Not sure what target audience the creators were aiming at - as it is mainly pre-teen show, but there is quite graphic violence and some bad language, as well as adult-like sex themes in conversations. My main beef - it's chiefly a murder mystery, and after ploughing through 10 episodes I was hoping for reveal-all finale, well - you need to wait for 2nd season to get all answers. There is too many shows about where viewers are being enticed into tuning to next season by leaving story wide open. And - quite often answers never come - when a show gets a chop...

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...
