I caught myself yelling at the people on the TV more than a few times. Finally just stopped stopping myself. My cats are accustomed to my crazy. The story is a little back and forth but not excessively. The character development is well-rounded. The science is interesting without being dull, but I don't know how sound it is.
Wainwright was cute in Shadowhunters but nails the over protective mother bit here. She's growing a solid pair of acting chops. Young is adorable and a surprisingly strong actor. Together, there is nothing the two can't do. Haney is a solid little actress with unwavering moxie. Everyone needs a BFF like her, at least when they're a kid. She is the glue and supporting wall of a group.
I found Munn's Jonathan the most interesting though. He starts out as one dimensional with little merit. Even the acting is simple; nothing special, regular mean kid in school. An unrelated incident later, and we get to see more of Jonathan, including his positive potential. I'd like to see what happens to him, if the series continues.
The villain tries to be interesting, but is sadly generic for most of the season. It has an opportunity to be interesting next season though. I like how it doesn't rely on fancy CGI gimmicks every time it does its thing.
If you enjoy a clean, sci-fi "who dun'it" with more story than action, then you might enjoy this show as much as I did. I look forward to at least one more season; more if possible.
