This should be given more love
John Wyndhams classic novel for the 21st century - brilliant
There seems to be a lot of negativity towards this program mainly because it has not remained faithful to the original book or The 1960s film - which I don't think is a bad thing.
The world has changed a lot since 1957 when the book was written. The internet, television, computers ect. Even abortion which would not have been easily available in the 50s. It's by no means perfect , some dodgy acting, seven episodes was enough.
The children are all excellent and really shine and make this series an enjoyable watch. Don't be put off by the doubters and judge for yourself.
