Kids on bikes being chased by government baddies should be one big reason. Also, feat of magic by aliens in both at the climax of the chase.
It's very reminiscent of film scores from John Carpenter's movies.Same. I downloaded the tune and have listened to it on repeat since... I love the spooky vibe.
Majority of people I know that like it were born late 80s, but were really 90s kids, and they love it. I guess there was a bit of a hangover from the 80s with films and stuff (ET was still a huge deal) so can still appreciate the vibe.Fantastic show and enjoyed every minute of it, can't help but feel you need to be an 80's kid to truly appreciate it though.
I loved it too, 8.5 is pretty much what i'd give it. It's just so different from all the usual shit on television at the moment which helped boost up the rating for me.I'd give it a solid 8.5. Really love the show, but with any highly rated TV show its going to get questioned to be overrated.
Agreed. 80's nostalgia aside, I particularly liked how they didn't try and be too smart with it. It is what it is and after midway through the season you can suss out whats going on pretty well, yet you're still as hooked as when you might have been on episode 2.I loved it too, 8.5 is pretty much what i'd give it.

Yep, you don't need a 'Lost' plot to keep a show engaging. It's all about the atmosphere and characters and this show did both very well.Agreed. 80's nostalgia aside, I particularly liked how they didn't try and be too smart with it.

That's how I felt anyway.
I think thats part of the nostalgia, 80'd sci-fi wasn't particular sophisticated. They basically created a Stephen King TV movie.Agreed. 80's nostalgia aside, I particularly liked how they didn't try and be too smart with it.
In what way?It reminded me of Twin Peaks in a lot of ways.
Set a couple decades back, pretty quirky, small town, super natural, murder/kidnap mystery.In what way?
Fantastic isn't it. The story is brilliant throughout, so well acted and paced. Best thing on telly since Breaking Bad imo.Binge watched this recently. One of the most enjoyable TV series I've watched in ages. I think what I liked most about it was the fact it had a really coherent plot and kept up a nice steady pace over the 8 episodes. I've gotten really bored of the recent trend (started by Lost?) for sci fi-ish series to have labyrinthine plots, which get so complex they end up leaving loads of loose ends and plot holes, or need boring exposition to try and fill in the blanks. I've been enjoying Westworld but suspect it's going down that same road. This had a plot that was tight as a drum and each episode progressed the narrative just the right amount. Quality stuff. Can't wait for season 2.
Oh my god she is high as a kite! definitely been popping a few magic beans.

Yeah, bit annoying, but I'd rather wait and get a top quality programme, than rush it and it be a bit shit...A trailer 9 months in advance? come on, I hate that, I got a bit excited and now I just have to forget it.
Niice.Having to wait 9 months for something I'll finish in 3 days feels weird, but I've felt stranger things.
All I can say for sure right now is its probably not a good guy.Yeah, bit annoying, but I'd rather wait and get a top quality programme, than rush it and it be a bit shit...
WTF was that massive Octopus thing?
Will this be the Thesselhydra (sp?) that the boys beat in the D&D game they played at the end of S1?All I can say for sure right now is its probably not a good guy.
you might be right about it being an octopus (I was thinking spider creature)Nah, I reckon Will is seeing a vision of the Octopussy thing...They've not long started filming so think this footage will be from early on in the episodes...
