The Whispers

I just watched the last two episodes back to back and I didn't want it to end!!! Absolutely incredible writing!!! Kudos to the writers for those two episodes!

There were a few flaws though but none the less it was incredibly entertaining and took my breath away! Any show that can fool the audience as to who the suspect is....Keep the audience on the edge of their seat and make them forget to breathe, is a show that deserves the best of reviews! I don't know why there were other reviews with negative views...Compared to most shows, The Whispers, rules!

I have the feeling of not being able to wait until next season! I'm hooked and cant wait to see how the second season pans out.

Also thanks to the cameraman for not making a shaky picture. Some shows really over shake the camera to bring on a different approach or feel of the scene but it's most often not needed.

Great show! Great actors!

Thank you for restoring my TV show interest!

I'm not sure where people are getting Poltergeist meets Close Encounters Of The Third Kind meets Children Of The Corn, clearly they have not actually seen those movies. I was also confused by the complaint too many TV shows are serious, did the commercials for it make it look like it would be a comedy? I like the TV show, it's not the typical show, maybe that's why some don't care for it-some are a bit harsh imo-The point is to not know who is going after the children right off the bat, the point is to wonder who it is, and wait to find out! Lily is fantastic, Abby Ryder Fortson is great, the rest of kids are believable and adorable and I'm glad to have something different to watch this summer :) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I suggest checking it out for yourself :)

The Whispers is an American television science fiction drama series created and co-executive produced by Soo Hugh with executive producers Steven Spielberg, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank and Dawn Olmstead for ABC Studios

A series of accidents occurs around children, who all communicate with the same invisible and seemingly imaginary friend called Drill. They secretly play his "games" in return for rewards that Drill promises. Claire Bennigan, an FBI child specialist, investigates and finds connections not only between the different children's cases, including her own son, but also to her missing husband.

On October 19, 2015, ABC canceled The Whispers after one season.

In the spirit of unworldly enticement, The Whispers uses theme of enigmatic children who hear the calling of an imaginary friend. While it dabbles in mysterious premise, the visual is pleasantly bright and less brooding. The focus on children and their family opens new audience other than sci-fi fans, along with versatile cast, The Whispers offers a more accessible thriller.

It follows a simple concept of an unknown presence that talks only to children. People consider it as harmless fantasy before the message gets sinister. There's no gore or overly nasty scenes, this is a milder sci-fi show, which is understandable due to the delicate premise. However, it still presents a couple of eerie moments with just enough restrain and bizarre twist on the usually innocent children. The tone isn't as dark or gritty as other shows. In fact cinematography resembles usual drama shows. Setting is mainly in suburban neighborhood, with occasional venturing to more mysterious places. It looks decently suitable as the environment is recognizable, though might not awe audience with incredible shots of glamorous vista.

Acting department has an eclectic assembly of actors who has a lot of experience in drama or mystery. Milo Ventimiglia is a versatile actor, it's nice to see him in a more leading role. Furthermore, the show has a few similarities with Heroes which should be very familiar for him. Lily Rabe dons a commanding role, she appears strong, but might fall to the stereotypical tough woman. One of the better performances from the child actors belong to Kylie Rogers as Minx who seems eerily fitting as an indigo child.

The Whispers doesn't deliver the mystery with much intensity or grit. While this might deter fans of sci-fi or thriller fans, the overall production value is competent enough to deliver a dramatic puzzle.

I, like a lot of the reviewers, didn't think much of the show when it first began. The first couple of episodes were quite confusing and left the impression that this was going to be one of those dull shows with sluggish plots that take ten episodes to tell a story that could have been told in three - I was wrong.

After the first few episodes the show eventually began to open up and everything started to make sense. The show goes from a confusing series of unrelated events into one big brilliant interwoven plot that leaves you wanting more. Although a lot of what's going on remains a mystery, there is enough progress being made by the characters to keep you interested and entertained.

I see this show really making it big if it stays on it's current path. Definitely one of my favourites this year.

I advise anyone out there to give it at least 4 episodes before writing it off, you won't regret it.
