If you want to watch a witty kid lecture adults about truth and the necessity of searching for it, this is the show for you!
Brooklynn Prince is stellar as Hilde Lisko, a vivacious, spunky, no-nonsense 9-year-old girl who is fascinated with journalism, her father's profession. She pulls no punches, minces no words, names names and says it like it is. I particularly loved her grandfather "Pop-Pop" who has Alzheimer's and is a very endearing and adorable character, and I loved how gentle and compassionate Hilde is toward him while Matthew Lisko (Jim Sturgess) struggles to connect with his own father. There was also the lynchpin story of Sam Gillis who was locked up for life unjustly after the tragic kidnapping of a young boy 30 years ago. It was amazing to watch a bunch of kids lead the quest for truth and justice in a town that had chosen to close their eyes.
