Home Before Dark

I didn't think much of it at first, but as I watched more and more episodes, I got hooked. The script just got better and better. Just awesome acting. I can't wait for the next season

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...

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.

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.
