The calm and sedate pacing took me by surprise, but after a while I found myself getting wrapped up in this. It's beautifully shot and has a peaceful, nostalgic feel to it without throwing it in your face like Stranger Things does (though I love that show). I'm sure most of us had figured out what was going on by the halfway point and there was some annoyance in the episode not acknowledging it quicker, but the central mystery here is done in such a way that the more you think about it the deeper your musings can go.
I loved the performances, too. Good child actors are difficult to find and both were great here. One thing which bugged me a bit was the way characters were interacting; it almost seemed like everyone was a little bit afraid of each other. There was no warmth. I don't know if this was intentional but it made me feel like everything was off.
This looks like it's going to be a thoughtful and emotional take on science fiction storytelling, so I'm interested in where it goes from here. A lot of questions left dangling.
