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

This show is made more interesting by the fact that it is based on a real nine-year-old girl who just happens to also be an ace reporter. It was reasonably binge-worthy because I kept wanting answers to the clues she kept uncovering. However, I do have to say that the wigs and prosthetics, the total lack of connection or spark between the parents, the irresponsibility of letting a kid go out day or night, her precociousness at school (would a principal just let her out of school all the time?) and the number of times Hilde's father kissed his kids' hair were annoying. Plus what police force would have pass information onto a child and what parent would let their child constantly put their lives at risk? See what you think?

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...

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

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.
