Too many shows take themselves too seriously these days. It is especially troublesome when the show has a somewhat improbable premise. Here, it is hard to get involved in a story where the adults are so very concerned with the entity named Drill and the safety of their children, but are mostly keeping information to themselves and not raising the alarm. They all seem to think they themselves are the only chance for human survival. I sure hope not because they are some of the stupidest characters on TV. Just as an example, the child Minx. Her parents know that this invisible entity is contacting their child, that he travels via electrical wires, that me leaves a heat signature and can be monitored, that he talks to the children through the lights, etc. yet they let her sleep alone in her room, with the door closed, in a bed strewn with colored lights, even after knowing she has been contacted by the entity several times in her bed. The parents of these children also seem to loose track of them too often to demonstrate any concern. Would you let your child out of your sight if he/she was involved in this? Lighten up and give the adults some intelligence. It may be science fiction, but it still has to make sense.
